So, there may be some dispute over whether or not Akon did punch and/or push anyone at that gig in South America last week, but there is no doubt that Noel Gallagher got done good and proper at the Virgin Festival in Toronto, when a man - called Daniel Sullivan, apparently - ran on stage and pushed him over. There were reports that Sullivan, who was later charged with assault, then tried to square off to Liam, but it seems in reality he just ran towards the frontman. Several security guards had jumped on him before he reached the other Gallagher brother. With Sullivan dragged off stage, the band then continued their set.

The band later issued a statement saying: "Noel Gallagher was attacked by an unidentified man during the band's show in Toronto [he's since been identified, in case you thought we made up the name Daniel Sullivan]. While Noel and the band were performing 'Morning Glory', the assailant ran on from the back of the stage and pushed Noel from behind, who fell heavily on to his monitor speakers. Despite his injuries, Noel returned to the stage a few minutes later to complete the band's set but was taken to hospital after the show to be examined for a suspected fractured rib and ligament damage. No decision has been made regarding Tuesday's concert in London, Ontario, but fans are urged to keep checking the band's website at Oasisinet.com and local media for updates".
