Noel Gallagher pushed to ground by fan at concert in Toronto
Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher was pushed to the ground by a fan at a concert in Toronto, Canada on Sunday night.
The Mancunian musician was playing the band's song (What's the Story?) Morning Glory when a man rushed the stage at the V festival and shoved him from behind.
Security guards quickly restrained the intruder while Noel's brother Liam, the group's lead singer, had to be held back as he attempted to retaliate.
The intruder was later charged with assault, according to the Globe and Mail newspaper.
The incident caused a brief interlude in Oasis' set which resumed with The Importance of Being Idle and also contained renditions of Wonderwall and Don't Look Back in Anger.
Their new album Dig Out Your Soul, the band's seventh, is released on October 12th.
The fan attack was captured by a fan and can be seen on YouTube.
