This is pretty crazy footage of Noel getting hit from behind during the Oasis performance at the V Festival in Toronto, Canada. Its too bad Noel didn’t even have a chance to react, otherwise I’m sure an epic brawl would have ensued. Notice Liam with his arm cocked trying to get some shots in. Props to the band for coming back 15 minutes later and finishing the show. Fast forward to 1:25 for the action to begin:
A man ran onstage during Oasis’s show at Virgin Festival in Toronto last night and crashed into guitarist Noel Gallagher, knocking him hard to the ground.
The man, who entered from backstage as the band played (What’s The Story) Morning Glory, then appeared to clash with other Gallagher brother, Liam, before security rushed in and escorted him off stage in front of the shocked festival crowd.
The security spokesperson for Virgin, called Nathan, said unidentified man evaded both Virgin and Oasis security personnel in his dash onstage. No reason was given for the rush, but Nathan pointed out that both brothers were fine, and Noel was joking backstage after the incident about how exciting things always happens when Oasis plays.
After a 15 minute pause, the band returned to the stage and finished the show, which included crowd-pleasers such as Don’t Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall, new single The Shock Of The Lightning and the closer, a cover of The Beatles’ I Am The Walrus.
