Oasis have postponed three European gigs after their guitarist Noel Gallagher was diagnosed with having three broken and dislodged ribs after being attacked onstage in Toronto.

The affected gigs are the Eden Project in Cornwall (September 27), Cologne's Gloria Theatre (29) and the Paris Bataclan show (30).

Noel Gallagher was assaulted in Toronto earlier this month. A CT scan revealed the extent of the injuries, forcing the gig cancellations.

In a statement the Manchester band said that the three gigs would be rescheduled, and advised fans to hold on to tickets and await further details.

Oasis' forthcoming sold-out UK tour, set to kick off on October 7 in Liverpool, is still scheduled to go ahead as planned.
