“Gas BBQs are a safe option, but if they have been left out over the winter, make sure hoses and connections are secure and not perished/damaged.

“We are sure you would not want us turning up.”

The post on Facebook was accompanied by a photograph which showed the aftermath of a BBQ fire with damage to a garden in Oxfordshire.

The incident occurred at the brand’s Banbury branch on Cherwell Street at around 1.40pm on Wednesday, March 25.

With Thames Valley Police alerted to the defecation, the situation has been subsequently described as “criminal damage”.

Investigating officer, police constable Robert Watson, previously said that he is looking for people who witnessed the incident.

The Oxford date comes shortly before the release of his fourth studio album, Grey, which is out on Friday, May 29, via Maple Creek Records.

This record was written and recorded between 2024 and 2026 and sees him delving deeper into personal territory.

Mr Sutherland said: “To begin, I want to express how happy and excited I am to be releasing my fourth album, ‘Grey’.

“The songs were written and recorded over a two-year period from 2024 to 2026.

“In many ways, these songs mark a growth for me personally, as I wrote less about observations and more about personal feelings that I have been navigating in my own life.”

The first single, Simpler Time, is already out, which the 59-year-old said is “a reflection on my youth and the memory of a time that felt more reliable culturally, socially and politically”.

He added: “I am aware that the memory of one’s youth is often seen through rose-tinted glasses, but in this instance, personally, I don’t think so.”

The actor will tour Europe, the UK, Ireland and North America this spring and summer, with Oxford one of only a handful of British dates.
