More news is coming in about the attack on Liam Gallagher in Germany at the weekend, with German police claiming the Oasis entourage weren’t as innocent as initial reports yesterday suggested. Authorities have confirmed that three members of Oasis, including Gallagher and drummer Alan White, were taken into custody after being attacked at a disco in the Muenchner Hof hotel in Munich, and that Gallagher underwent emergency surgery after having numerous teeth knocked out.
But some eyewitnesses have disagreed with Gallagher’s claims that the assault was unprovoked. They say the trouble started when the drunken Oasis party starting pushing each other around. One member knocked into a table where five Italians were drinking, and that’s how the real trouble began. Either way it may be Gallagher who faces the charges after allegedly kicking a police officer as they tried to bring the unrest under control.
The band’s German show was cancelled after the events. Official statement: "Oasis have been forced to postpone a second show as a result of the injuries sustained by Liam on Saturday night in Munich. Tonight's show in Hamburg at the Colorline Arena has been postponed while Liam has further dental work to repair his two front teeth. The two postponed shows should be rescheduled shortly".
