Man Charged In Attack On Oasis Member Noel Gallagher Back In Court November 25
The case of a man charged with attacking Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher at a Toronto festival is due back in court next month.
A man ran onto the stage during a performance at the Virgin Festival in early September and pushed Gallagher from behind.
Gallagher fell onto his speakers, bruising his ribs and hip.
He said later that he thought he had been stabbed.
Forty-seven-year-old Daniel Sullivan is charged with assault.
His case will be back in court in Toronto on Nov. 25.
Gallagher was still on pain medication for three broken and dislodged ribs at the start of the month.
The attack prompted Oasis to reschedule a performance in London, Ont., to Dec. 15.

Oasis Add Extra Dates To UK Tour
Oasis spent yesterday deep in rehearsals for their debut choral show — as my exclusive shot, below, shows.
The rockers play the BBC Electric Proms tomorrow night at London’s Roundhouse with the Crouch End Festival Chorus.
The choir will add new shades to the outfit’s towering rock anthems and you can catch the set on BBC2 at 10.45pm.
Meanwhile, the lads have added a third night to their Manchester and London shows next summer after tickets for the original gigs sold out within hours yesterday.
The band originally scheduled June 6 and 7 in their hometown’s Heaton Park and July 11 and 12 at Wembley Stadium.
But they will now also play Heaton Park on June 4 and Wembley on July 9.
As I revealed earlier this week, next year is set to be a brilliant 12 months for live music.
Not only do we have the Oasis shows, but Coldplay, Take That and U2 will be playing mega-gigs too.
Metal titans Metallica had a good day too.
Their first UK tour in more than a decade went on sale yesterday and sold out entirely.

Oasis Fans' Tickets Joy
Fans queued overnight to buy tickets for Oasis' two huge Heaton Park gigs before they went on sale this morning.
The Gallagher Brothers will play in front of 140,000 fans at the park as part of their Dig Out Your Soul World Tour next June.
About 200 eager gig-goers queued from 11pm yesterday (Thursday) at Zavvi, in the Arndale Centre, to be the first to get their hands on Oasis tickets when they went on sale at 10am today.
The two 70,000 crowds at the 650-acre Heaton Park will be the biggest since the Pope visited north Manchester 26 years ago in 1982.
Online retailers said they had no more tickets available minutes after they were released to the public.
The sought-after tickets were sold for £45 - but online retailers were selling them for more than £100 even before box offices opened this morning.
Hit bands Kasabian and The Enemy will be supporting Oasis at the gigs on Saturday June 6 and Sunday June 7 next year.
Emma Guqiarrez, 18, and her friend Marie-Laure Simon, 20, who work as au pairs in Urmston, but are from Marseille, in France, queued from 11.30pm.
Emma said: "I've never seen Oasis I have to take the opportunity to see them in Manchester now I am here, I'm so excited I can't believe I am going to see Oasis in their home town.
"We've been queuing for ages, it feels like I have been here forever but it's been quite fun. We've got to know quite a few people here."
Nikul Shaw, 21, from Fallowfield, an economics student at Manchester University was in the queue from 11pm.
He said: "I had to be here early to guarantee I would get a ticket, I'm a massive fan of Oasis, I saw them in Wembley last week. I've seen them dozens of times but it's going to be amazing to see them in Manchester at Heaton Park.
"It has been a long night but it's definitely been worth it, they just keep getting better and better.
"The atmosphere's going to be amazing, now I just have to wait for the gig."
The Gallagher brothers will also play at The Stadium Of Light, Sunderland, Slane Castle in Dublin, Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, Murrayfield in Edinburgh and at Wembley Stadium next summer.
An estimated 250,000 people visited Heaton Park for the visit of Pope John Paul II on 31 May 1982.

Man Charged With Attack On Oasis' Noel Gallagher Due In Toronto Court Today
A man charged with attacking Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher at a Toronto festival is due in court today.
A man ran onto the stage during a performance at the Virgin Festival in early September and pushed Gallagher from behind.
Gallagher fell onto his speakers, bruising his ribs and hip.
He said later that he thought he had been stabbed .
Gallagher said he was "hit really hard" and initially didn't want to go to hospital and continued playing.
But he quickly changed his mind after feeling an "almighty pain."
At the start of October - a month later - he was still on pain medication for three broken and dislodged ribs.
The attack prompted Oasis to reschedule a performance in London, Ontario to December 15th.
Forty-seven-year-old Daniel Sullivan is charged with assault.

What's The Story? Morning Glory For Oasis Fans
About 1,000 Oasis fans queued at the Stadium of Light today as tickets went on sale for the Wearside leg of the band's UK tour.
Crowds were so large that stadium officials brought forward the sale of tickets from 10am to 8am.
Hundreds had braved strong winds and the cold night to camp outside, eager to see the concert on June 10.
Devotees of the Britpop supergroup began queuing on Wednesday to make sure they got one of the 4,000 tickets available at the stadium, and were joined by hundreds more this morning.
Christopher McGowan, 22, of Hylton Castle, who was first in the queue, had been waiting since noon on Wednesday.
He said: "It feels great now, having the tickets in my hand. This is the first time I've seen them. It's going to be mint!"
His friend Philip Young, 25, of Hylton Castle said: "It's been amazing queueing. It's been very cold but it feels great now that I've got them. It's been worth the wait. I'm over the moon but I'm going to bed now because I am shattered!"
Chelsay Scott, 18, of Fulwell has been waiting since 3pm yesterday. She said: "I've finally got them, it's taken forever and it was really cold last night. Now I can't wait to see them."
Stuart Metcalf, 25, of Fence Houses was still queueing at 8.30am. He had been waiting for 14 hours. He said: "I saw them last week at Cardiff but I really want to see them in Sunderland. I came straight from work and will be going straight to work so I hope I get them."
Jenny Cook, 28, of Gosforth, Newcastle had just arrived at 8.30am. She said: "I'm really hoping to get tickets. I've loved Oasis since their first album and I've been to see them twice before but to see them in the North East would be amazing."
The Mancunian band, which was propelled to fame in the Nineties with smash hit debut album Definitely Maybe, will be supported by two other massive acts - Kasabian and The Enemy - in what has been called a massive coup for the city.

Pictures Of The First Night Of Oasis At The Cardiff International Arena

Oasis Triumph Over Queues And Confusion
Rockers Oasis kicked off the first gig of their two-night stint at Cardiff International Arena in style last night.
It’s the Manchester band’s first UK tour for more than two years and coincides with the release of their seventh studio album, Dig Out Your Soul.
Having sold out last night’s and tonight’s gigs in a matter of hours it’s clear their popularity is still running high in Wales.
Confusion initially reigned outside as thousands of fans armed with tickets were left queuing in the rain just minutes before Oasis were due on stage.
John Appleby, 27, a civil servant from Rumney, Cardiff, said: “I’m one of many thousands going to see the Oasis gig. It’s 8.40pm now and the lads are going on at 9pm but there are still people queuing around the CIA and down Charles Street. They’re searching absolutely everyone, so half the people are going to miss at least the first 20 minutes of the gig.
“I paid £35 for my ticket but there are touts everywhere who have charged about £100 for a ticket. I just can’t believe it.”
After a mad scramble to get everyone in, Oasis finally got on stage about 9pm much to the crowd’s delight.
Strolling on stage enigmatic frontman Liam Gallagher launched straight into Rock n Roll Star, followed quickly by the smash hit Lala.
Songs from early albums including Definitely Maybe and cherry-picked from the best of less successful albums like Standing on the Shoulder of Giants featured. Tracks from the new critically-acclaimed album included The Shock of the Lightening, To Be Where There’s Life and the fantastic Waiting for the Rapture.
It was difficult to hear some of the classics such as Wonderwall or Don’t Look Back In Anger over the deafening sing-a-long coming back from the crowd.
Noel seemed to be showing no ill-effects of the fractured ribs he sustained when a fan pushed him over on stage in Canada last month. His injury had thrown the tour into a bit of doubt but his superb vocals proved he is back to his best.
These gigs will help to wet the appetite for next summer’s stadium tour when they will be supported by the equally-cocky, but also brilliant, Kasabian and outstanding young rockers The Enemy.
Tickets for next summer’s super-gig at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff go on sale this morning and last night’s show will have fans rushing out to buy tickets.

Oasis Are A Blast In Cardiff
The old ones are the best, says Gavin Allen, who was at Thursday's Oasis gig in Cardiff
Oasis at CIA
Oasis showed exactly what fans will be paying for at the Millennium Stadium next summer with the first of their two dates at Cardiff International Arena last night.
Having shifted around 15,000 tickets for these two CIA gigs they will be looking to at least double that number, if not quadruple it, on June 12, 2009 when Kasabian and The Enemy will join them to ruin the turf for Welsh sports teams.
On this evidence Oasis are still well worth the ticket price.
They compiled an interesting set list; heavy on hits and their first two albums in particular, with one B-side and a smattering of tracks from the new album, Dig Out Your Soul.
Live, the new album is seemingly not as good as their last, Don’t Believe The Truth, with The Importance Of Being Idle getting a great reception and Lyla, despite Liam destroying the vocal as badly as he might have in 1994, getting the place stomping.
It’s easy to say that Oasis are not as good as they used to be, and very true, yet there is no denying they still carry their primal power of yore at times.
From the eruption of excitement that greeted Rock N Roll star – the security guards earning their money as a river of people swelled dangerously against the crash barriers – to the stunning melody of The Masterplan, the best stuff was the oldest.
You cannot deny Slide Away, Columbia or Cigarettes and Alcohol, which an on-form Liam – lobbing tambourines into the crowd - dedicated to Katherine Jenkins for reasons unknown.
Liam’s best moment came during The Shock Of the Lightening when a white jumper flew from the crowd and landed on Noel’s head, refusing to budge; Noel looked like a caught fish as he tried to shake it off without disturbing this guitar line.
Liam strode over and stood in front of him protectively before surreally threatening, "if you want to make people look stupid I’ll make you look like your grandma."
Noel excelled where expected, in the big songs, and there were huge responses for Wonderwall and Don’t Look Back In Anger, on which a 7,500-strong Welsh choir offered their voices in full heart.
As the gig edged towards a climax they relied on older material, Champagne Supernova among a four-track encore that eventually closed on I Am The Walrus.
"See you next year at that stadium over there," concluded Gallagher senior.
Maybe, Noel, but not definitely.

Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere
Fuck me! They were 2 big, big nights in London, 'specially the Friday. One of the best I've ever been to anyway. Apologies for the 1st night, it being filmed by MTV and all. It felt a bit like doing the Brits or summat. I've never seen so many TV presenters back stage. If someone would have let a bomb off at one point they could well have wiped out most of ITV's 2, 3 and 4!! Who are these people with?
Got to see the actual Wembley Stadium on Thursday. We had a photo call/press conference there. And much fun it was too. We were promoting the super-gigs that are happening next summer. Maybe you've heard? Maybe you've not!! Come along anyway. All are welcome. They're gonna be very brilliant nights. Decade defining nights. Don't be saying in 10 years time you were there if you weren't. The on-going war against hypocrisy and indifference takes us to Bournemouth tonight. If I don't see you there I'll see you in Cardiff maybe.
In a bit.
GD.
