Aston raged: “I need to know who this person is ASAP because from when you think you can move like this and write s**t on my son’s page.”
He added: “You got the wrong one mate! So any information on @wickyaard need thrown my way now.”
The musician posted a screenshot of the troll’s account, which was set as private and had a snap actor Woody Harrelson as their profile picture.
