Noel Gallagher Attacked

Oasis star Noel Gallagher was admitted to hospital after being pushed over during the band's set at the V Festival in Toronto, Canada on Sunday.

According to the band's website, the star "fell heavily onto his monitor speakers". He may have fractured his rib and sustained ligament damage.

The 41-year-old was playing guitar during a performance of Morning Glory when a stage invader pushed him over.

Oasis have hinted that a gig on Tuesday may be cancelled as a result.

Fans have been asked to keep checking the band's website for updates on the show, which is due to take place in London, Ontario.

Assault charge

Gallagher's attacker was hauled to the ground by security guards. The guitarist's younger brother Liam, who was singing, had to be restrained from retaliating.

The incident was captured on video by a fan in the audience and posted on the YouTube website.

Oasis left the stage immediately after the attack, but the show resumed a few minutes later.

Gallagher's assailant was detained in police custody and will be charged with assault, according to the statement on Oasis' website.

The festival gig came as the band prepare to complete their North American tour, which ends in New York on Friday.

Gallagher has yet to comment on the incident on the blog which he has been updating throughout the tour.

Well.... No one's to say we didn't see this coming. But, I still think, the band doesn't deserve the criticism (or the punches) that they get. Poor Noel. Maybe, once a fan, always a fan, even if their new stuff... lack.... luster.

However, rip off band or not, they had great amazingly memorable tunes. We have to give them credit for that. Oasis will always be Oasis and a great band to me for tunes like Live Forever, Whatever, Slide Away, Champainge Supernova, Don't Look Back In Anger... that were the resounding amthems of our hearts at that time.

I still believe that like the Beatles for Gallagher's generation, when my generation looks back at the good ol' days, I'd just have to say that Oasis back in 94 - 97, were one of the great music giants of our time.

And hell, I'd pick ANY Oasis 94 - 97 B-Side over any Top 10 Modern Rock crap these days. Thanks, but with that alone, I think Oasis Rocked.

Albeit the past tense.
