Noel & Liam Attacked Onstage in Toronto
While Oasis was ripping through "Morning Glory" last night in Toronto, a nut ran onto the stage and attacked the boys from Manchester.

The lunatic shoved Noel from behind, knocking the guitarist into the monitors. The he went after Liam as security grabbed him. Once the younger Gallagher figures out what is going on, he tries to grab the assailant and beat the piss out of him.

Amateur footage caught the incident. The attack comes at about the 1:30 mark.



After a few minutes, Oasis came back out and finished the show. According the band's website, Noel was treated afterwards for a "suspected fractured rib and ligament damage."

I wish Liam would have gotten ahold of the bastard. I met Liam at an Oasis show in New York at the Roseland Ballroom. He's an intimidating presence. While I'm a little taller than he is, Liam would kick my head in. Mancunians are tough dudes.

Best wishes to Noel from YesButNoButYes.

Jesus, I've never claimed to be a fan of oasis, but they're not THAT bad. That guy must be a die hard coldplay fan.

Is there anything stronger display of manliness than to blindside somebody and try to sucker punch another?

Those pesky Canadians!

Poor guy probably just got a hold of some bad acid...or maybe it was good.

Never liked their music and pretty much hate the brothers, but this seems a bit too much.

Hell I didn't even know they were still touring.

Oasis is awesome. The Gallagher brothers are about as arrogant as you can be, but they back it up. They are badasses, and very talented musicians. That usually spells success. "What's The Story ... Morning Glory?" is one of the few CDs I still listen to beginning to end.

I like Coldplay as well. Chris Martin is very talented. I just can't listen to him ...

Senor Pablo: Is there some kind of feud between the two groups?

said Tim on September 9, 2008 9:30 AM.

There's no Oasis-Coldplay feud. Maybe a Liam-Coldplay riff after Liam called Chris Martin a "knobhead."

Coldplay have talked about how much an influence Oasis was to their band. Coldplay covers "Songbird" live. Noel has played onstage with Chris Martin a few times.

It's Toronto, what do you expect? Bunch of hooligan New York wannabes.
