During Oasis’ set at V Festival in Toronto on Sunday, a stage invader rushed on to the stage and pushed Noel Gallagher who was playing guitar in Morning Glory at the time. He ‘fell heavily’ on to monitor speakers. Noel returned to the stage a few minutes later allowing for the band to complete their set although he was taken to hospital afterwards with suspected ligament damage and a fractured rib and it remains unknown whether the band will be able to play a gig scheduled for Tuesday.
If you watch the video, it occurs at about 1 minute 30, looks like the guy runs at Noel with a fair bit of force. Liam attempted to retaliate and had to be restrained by the security team who escorted the unknown assailant off the stage immediately. He was taken into police custody and will be charged with assault.
It has to be said, if I was to pick a band to assault on stage, it really wouldn’t be either of the Gallaghers, out of fear for my own wellbeing than anything else! Have some Oasis:
WMA Morning Glory
MP3 Angel Child
