Noel on attack

(Thursday September 11, 2008 05:57 AM)

Noel Gallagher says he feels like Ricky Hatton after the onstage attack which took place at a show in Canada last week.

The Oasis leader was pushed from the stage midway through the band's headline show at the V Festival in Toronto on Sunday.

He suffered bruising in the incident and required hospital treatment after the concert, prompting the cancellation of a gig in Ontario.

Writing on the band's blog, Noel said the incident was like going through a sparring session with his fellow Manchester boxer.

He wrote: "Someone, who can only be described as a 'Canadian', was able to get onstage, somehow managed to evade our crack security team (Trotters Independent Security Service) and assaulted my mid-riff.

"Can't say much more than that as the 'perpetrator''s gonna get the book thrown at him. Repeatedly. It was all going so well up until that point'n'all."

Oasis are due to make their live return with a gig in New York City tomorrow night.
