A “fan” rushed onto the stage at the Virgin Festival in Toronto Sunday night, pushing Noel Gallaher over before being tackled by security. Today, Oasis posted the following on their website:
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. The assailant was detained in police custody and will be charged with assault.
The Toronto Star reports that the man, 47 year old Daniel Sullivan, has been charged with assult, and appeared in a Toronto court on those charges yesterday morning.
