Noel Gallagher's Victim Impact Statement Read In Court

6 comments










At a sentencing hearing this morning for Daniel Sullivan, the 48-year-old Pickering contractor who pleaded guilty to assault for shoving Oasis singer Noel Gallagher at a Toronto Island concert, the Crown read out Mr. Gallagher's victim impact statement. The full text is reprinted below. Mr. Sullivan's sentencing was ultimately held over until April 21.

Noel Gallagher's victim impact statement

I am a singer and lead guitarist of the band Oasis. On 7 July 2008 Oasis were headlining at the V Festival in Toronto Canada when I was assaulted on stage by a stage invader. I was in the middle of one of the songs. I would describe the sudden impact and shock as feeling as if I had been hit by a bus. I ended up in a heap on the floor and the band stopped playing. I fell on to the monitors which are wedge shaped speakers. I had no idea what had happened. I was picked up by a member of the road crew and taken to the side of the stage. During this time I experienced a pain to my left side. Initially paramedics treated me on stage. There was 40 minutes left of the set. I was in shock but I decided to go back on stage. At that point, perhaps because of the adrenalin, I did not fully appreciate the severity of the injury I had sustained. After a few more songs I experienced difficulty breathing and felt further acute pain. I left the stage and was taken to hospital. At hospital I was x-rayed and the diagnosis, which turned out to be incomplete, was internal bruising of the ribs. It was thought that I would be better in a couple of days. The next performance in London, Ontario on the 9th September was cancelled and I spent a day in bed taking pain killers. We drove to New York for the band's next performance on the 12th September. In New York, on 9 September 2008 I found it difficult to move and I was in acute pain in spite of the painkillers. We decided to cancel the New York show which was scheduled to take place at the Terminal 5 club. This was also scheduled to be filmed for television broadcast which had to be cancelled along with important promotion work for our new album.

I flew back to London and went to see a chiropractor who sent me for a further x-ray at the London Clinic. I was told that I had 3 broken ribs on the left side of my back. I was informed by the doctor that the ribs had broken as a result of the push in my back and not the fall. The initial pain I had experienced was as a result of bruising to the front ribs when I fell on to the monitors. I was prescribed further pain killers but effectively told to grin and bear it for a minimum of 8 weeks. In spite of the pain killers I continued to be in serious pain for about 3 months during which time I saw a physiotherapist 3 times a week. I remained in some degree of pain for a total period of 8 months.

On my return to England from New York we were scheduled to start the British part of the band's tour. However, I was unable to perform without pain killers to adapt my performance to accommodate the pain.

As a result of the injury the band had to cancel a show in London Ontario on 9 September, the Terminal 5 performance in New York on 12 September, (a filmed show for television and a large promotional event). In the UK following the full and correct diagnosis three media concerts had to be cancelled, one on 27 September (a live performance at the Eden Project in Cornwall which was to be transmitted worldwide by MTV), one on 29 September, (a live show in Cologne, Germany, to be transmitted on radio throughout Europe), and on 30 September a live TV show in Paris for Canal Plus. The band also had to cancel a 2 October appearance on the Jonathan Ross TV show, an important promotional appearance, as well as a performance on the television show "Later with Jools Holland". The promotional work in connection with the launch of the new album was very important to its success and early sales momentum. This opportunity was lost.

I have been told that I will never really recover from the damage to my ribs and from time to time I still feel painful twinges. The emotional impact it had on me was essentially coping with the pressure to perform so as not to let the band down. This has never happened to me before. For a considerable period of time I was only operating at 50% of my capabilities and this naturally spoilt the enjoyment of the tour.

Crouch End Festival Chorus To Rock With Noel Gallagher

No comments


A high-profile choir that is the first choice of rock stars looking for some extra oomph has bagged another celebrity invite - from Oasis legend Noel Gallagher.

The Crouch End Festival Chorus is set to join the Mancunian rocker on stage for his solo shows at the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday and on Friday in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Noel has been a fan of the symphony chorus for some time, describing them as "f***ing mindblowing" in Time Out and having them as backing for Oasis at their BBC Electric Proms gig at The Roundhouse in October 2008. Noel's shows form part of a 10-night extravaganza for the charity, celebrating a decade of the successful annual event.

David Temple, CEFC's musical director, said: "We are thrilled to be working with Noel Gallagher again and also to be involved with the Teenage Cancer Trust. Our Electric Prom appearance with Oasis was a wonderful occasion and so it is brilliant to be asked back by Noel."

The rocker was spotted in Crouch End last Thursday, as the live dates drew closer. Comedian Mark Watson wrote on social networking site Twitter: "Just seen Noel Gallagher in Crouch End. I've already got Albarn and Cocker so that's the full set."

The chorus recorded an album last year with Muswell Hill's Ray Davies, of The Kinks, have a Grammy nominated record with Kate Royal, and featured prominently in the Doctor Who TV specials at Christmas.

The chorus will also join composer and patron Ennio Morricone at the Royal Albert Hall on April 10 performing some of his classic film tracks.

Liam Gallagher's 'Pretty Green' And Clarks Originals

No comments









Liam worked closely with the Clarks Originals design team in Somerset to develop a Pretty Green version of the classic Desert Boot. He had a clear vision of what he wanted; though still carrying the signature Originals design, the boot has a wider and more rounded toe and lower heel, creating a slimmer profile than the original.

Clarks Originals have looked to long standing family tanners, the Steads Tannery of Leeds and sourced the premium Janus Butt suede. This stands out for its quality, butter soft tactility and a beautifully textured finish.

The Pretty Green Desert Boot comes in three standard colours: black, brown and champagne suede. There will also be a limited edition green suede, sold exclusively by Pretty Green.

This is the only shoe Pretty Green will be releasing for AW10 … need we say more.

The Gospel According To Liam Gallagher

No comments












Now that Oasis have officially split, with seemingly little hope of reconciliation in the near future, frontman Liam Gallagher has concentrated his efforts on his new clothing line, Pretty Green.

Here, in a rare interview, Chris Sullivan talks to him about style, pointed shoes and his beginnings, and does his best to cajole a comment or two about the Oasis break-up.

The quality of your label is really exceptional. Usually you only see that degree of craftsmanship and cloth in Jermyn Street.

We just went for it, man. I wanted it to be the best 'cos there’s no point in fucking about is there? Yeah, man, you gotta start as you mean to go on.

How important was it that you oversaw everything?

Yes, if it don’t look good on me, then I’m not having it. I’ve a bit of time on my hands now, so I thought why not? Let’s get stuck into it. I’m not a fashion man. I’ve never done fashion before, but I know what looks good and what I like and that is as far as it goes.

How would you describe the clothes?

It’s timeless. Classic clobber. Parkas, macs, boating blazers, quality polo shirts, desert boots… Nothing too wild. It’s quality.

What was the first item of clothing you bought with your own money?

I used to be into Patrick and Lacoste – all the casual football gear, you know? Dunlop Green Flash was always top of the agenda – Levi’s, tracksuit top… You know the stuff.

Is there anything you’ve worn that you look back on and go, 'no!'?

People are having a pop at these [he holds his foot up to reveal a pair of faux leopardskin Yves St Laurent soft driving loafers], but I think they are the nuts, man. These are my pride and fucking joy.

What are your thoughts on pointed shoes?

I fucking hate pointed shoes. Not for me, man. They’re for girls and that. I don’t like these skintight jeans either. I don’t mind a bit of slim, but I’m not into baggy either. I can’t tell whether they are a boy or a girl. Are you a fucking chick or a bloke? In my opinion, a girl has to look like a girl and a lad like a lad.

What about trainers?

I had a pal who used to send me all this Adidas stuff, but as soon as you hit 30 you have to drop all that stripes and stuff.

What's the secret of your success?

Being real, man. The gigs were completely serious, but the rest of it we were having a laugh. Getting everyone at it. We weren’t built on a career plan, we just fucking did it and it happened.

Why would you stop?

That’s the beauty of Oasis – we could implode and then we couldn’t, and we did, and there you fucking go. But it took the members of Oasis to knock it on the head and not the fucking people who were knocking us down and said we wouldn’t last. No one got to us except for us. We got to ourselves and I am very proud of that.

Eighteen years is a long time.

Especially when a lot of people are on your case, saying you’re shit and all that. We were the only ones that brought Oasis down and not all those *****.

Do you share my dislike of U2?

I have never seen a U2 fan, not ever. I have never seen anyone with a U2 shirt or been around someone’s house that has a fucking U2 record. I mean, where do their fans fucking come from? Where are they? I reckon they buy them. With all the money they’ve made, they just bought a load of people and every time they do a gig they get a big old shovel and pile them into their gigs to make them look good.

Michael Jackson – genius or not?

A genius without a doubt. Not my kind of music, but the missus loves it. I preferred him when he was in the Jackson Five, but then he turned into a bit of a nut job. But it was always on the cards wasn’t it? He lived in America for a start and anyone who has their own fairground in the back garden has to go fucking nuts. I have a couple of trees and a garden fucking shed, so it keeps me well on the ground. At least I ain’t got a fucking Ferris wheel. Bound to drive you mad.

What was it like with your first album [Definitely Maybe] going stratospheric in a matter of weeks?

It was fucking great, man. I didn’t freak me out at all. I’d been digging holes in Manchester for the last four fucking years, so I was ready for it, man. I was like, "Here’s that fucking spade, you can have it!"

Last word about your label?

If you like it and you can afford it, get it on, and if you can’t, save up.

Liam Gallagher Claims His New Band Will Be "More Musical" Than Oasis.

No comments










Liam Gallagher claims his new band will be more ''musical'' and ''sophisticated'' than Oasis because they will concentrate on the songs and nothing else.

The outspoken singer - whose older brother Noel quit Oasis last August after tensions and feuding between the pair became intolerable - believes the group he has formed without his sibling will be more successful because they will concentrate on the songs and nothing else.

He said: "We are going to be more musical than Oasis. It's not going to be so f***ing full-on, heavy chords, you know? More sophisticated. Not up its own a**e. but more musical."

Liam, 37, is currently working on new material with his ex-Oasis bandmates Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Chris Sharrock, while 42-year-old Noel - who wrote the majority of Oasis' biggest hits, including 'Wonderwall' and 'Some Might Say' - is preparing to launch a solo career.

Liam has made no secret of his dislike of Noel, 42, and recently described him as the most "overrated" man of all time.

Discussing who he thought was the most overrated man in history, Liam told Esquire magazine: "Has to be Noel Gallagher."
