Oasis were forced to cancel a planned show in Ontario last night, due to those injuries sustained by Noel Gallagher when he was attacked on stage on Sunday night.
As previously reported, Noel was pushed over by a man who managed to get on stage at the Virgin Festival in Toronto, causing the guitarist to fall awkwardly onto a monitor. Although the band completed the show after a brief break in proceedings, Gallagher suffered bruising and has been ordered by doctors to rest. The attacker, Daniel Sullivan, appeared in court yesterday charged with assault. He was released on bail but will be back in court again on 24 Oct.
A statement posted on the band's website yesterday said: "Following an incident during Oasis' performance at the Virgin Festival in Toronto, when Noel was attacked by a stage invader Oasis are regrettably being forced to announce that tonight's show in London, Ontario cannot go ahead as planned. Noel fell heavily on to his monitor speakers when he was pushed suddenly from behind by his attacker and suffered bruising to his ribs and hip. He was examined in a local hospital after the band's performance and has been advised to rest. Unfortunately, despite resting up yesterday, the extent of his injuries mean he will not be able to perform tonight. The band are very keen to complete their Canadian tour and options for rescheduling the final London, Ontario show are currently being looked into. Ticket holders are asked to retain their tickets until a further announcement is made in a few days".
