Oasis Postpone Tonight's Show Due to Noel's Injuries

The repercussions from Sunday night's Oasis assault incident-- in which Noel Gallagher was pushed over while performing at the Virgin Festival in Toronto by a man who rushed the stage-- continue.

Today Oasis announced via their website that they have indeed cancelled tonight's (September 9) show at John Labatt Centre in London, Ontario. The gig has already been rescheduled, and will now take place on December 15.

According to the Oasis website, "Noel fell heavily on to his monitor speakers when he was pushed suddenly from behind by his attacker and suffered bruising to his ribs and hip. He was examined in a local hospital after the band's performance and has been advised to rest. Unfortunately, despite resting up yesterday, the extent of his injuries mean[s] he will not be able to perform tonight."

The rest of Oasis' upcoming dates are still on as scheduled for now.

Additionally, as expected, the man who pushed Noel-- identified as 47-year-old Daniel Sullivan-- has been charged with assault by Toronto police, according to a CBC report. Sullivan, who resides in Pickering, Ontario, has been released from police custody and is due in court October 24. He should probably watch his back.
