 Noel Gallagher: Attacked on stage
Oasis musician Noel Gallagher was attacked and injured on stage in Canada during a concert by the British band on Sunday night. He was sent to hospital with a suspected broken rib.
While the band was playing its hit song "Morning Glory" for the 40,000-strong audience at Toronto's V Festival, suddenly, an unidentified man ran onstage and knocked Noel Gallagher from behind.
The 41 year old Gallagher, who had his guitar strapped on, landed heavily onto speakers. The unidentified attacker fell into a microphone stand as security staff rushed to grab him.
Noel Gallagher's brother Liam, 35, rushed the assailant and threw a punch, which failed to connect, before all three left the stage.
The band were forced to leave the stage briefly after the alleged assault but returned to finish their set later.
In a statement on its Web site, the band said that Noel Gallagher returned a few minutes later and Oasis completed its set.
A police spokesman said that a 47 year old Toronto man has been charged with assault and released later. He is due to appear in court next month. The motive for the attack was not known. |
