Grohl saved from Gallagher-style attack

Security guards stopped a man running at Dave Grohl on stage at Austin City Limits, and Grohl later played down the incident.

Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl was saved from being attacked on stage at a gig at the Austin City Limits festival in Texas on Sunday after quick-thinking security guards wrestled a man to the ground as he ran across the stage towards the singer.

Despite initially appearing shocked, Grohl later played down the drama, telling the crowd: "He's just a drunken college dork. I've been there".

As previously reported, Oasis were recently forced to cancel various live dates due to injuries sustained by Noel Gallagher when he was pushed over by a fan on stage at the Virgin Festival in Toronto.
