Farin Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 BBC News | Monday, 8 September 2008 17:23 UK | Link 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 40-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. 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. fan video of the incident on youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steel2Velvet Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Noel just didn't understand; that's how Canadians greet one another. It's usually on ice, however, and the slight shove just gets both going in the same direction while they chat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Why pay a load of money only to push over the guitar player? (yes, I can imagine what Bitter Almonds would have to say about that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Though the Gallaghers have both had a big hurtin' coming for years now , this was a cheesy way to go about it - and in Canada , of all places - the same country that let Keith off with giving a free concert when found with 20 year's jail time worth of heroin in '77 ( fortunately they were gang banging the PM's wife at the time , perhaps, and had some high-level friends ). Thanks Steel , for trying to explain what may have been in that idiot's mind . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
