Noel attacker guilty

(Monday November 23, 2009 02:52 AM)

A man accused of attacking Noel Gallagher onstage in Canada has pleaded guilty to the charge.

Daniel Sullivan admitted causing bodily harm to the former Oasis band leader at his court appearance in Ontario on Friday.

Crown attorney Ruth Neilson read an agreed statement of facts to Justice Richard Schneide, following the incident last September at Montreal's V Festival.

"Sullivan managed to make his way up to the main stage area, run past the electrical chords set up along the stage, pass the drum kit and lunge toward Noel Gallagher, shoving him violently from behind with great force", he said.

Sullivan was apparently drunk at the time and only "remembers attempting to climb over the fence".

A sentencing hearing is expected to begin on February 5, 2010.

Gallagher, who has since quit Oasis, suffered three broken ribs in the incident.
