Oasis' Noel Gallagher gives injury update

Guitarist speaks about rib pain and rehearsals

Oasis' Noel Gallagher has given an update about how he is recovering from the rib injuries that caused the band to cancel a slew of live shows.

The group postponed a series of shows after Noel was assaulted in Toronto earlier this month.

Gallagher said he had been back rehearsing with his band after the injury. "I'm on a lot of painkillers at the moment," he told Oasis' Noel Gallagher has given an update about how he is recovering from the rib injuries that caused the band to cancel a slew of live shows.

The group postponed a series of shows after Noel was assaulted in Toronto earlier this month.

Gallagher said he had been back rehearsing with his band after the injury. "I'm on a lot of painkillers at the moment," he told Absolute Radio Breakfast Show DJ Christian O'Connell. "The trouble with painkillers is they're only fun when you're not meant to be on them. When you're actually in pain they just take the edge off it.

"The doctor said that at my age it should take about another four weeks to heal. It's making me walk and stand different though 'cos of the pain. I've been rehearsing though, so I know I can do the rest of the tour."

Oasis are set to kick off their UK tour at the Liverpool Echo Arena on October 7.

Seriously though Noel, just get on with it. for a band that made being 'hard' a part of their image, I've never heard so much whingeing. We don't need an update every time he takes a crap either NME.

Can you go easy on the Oasis anilingus, please, NME? I'm sick to death of logging on and seeing at least two flimsy Oasis headlines every time I'm on-site. What do you give us today today? "middle-aged tune-free twat with aversion to originality has sore ribs after being duffed up for crimes against music". Fig buckin' deal...

Didn't Frank Carter play Reading+Leeds with at least one broken rib?I'm pretty sure he's more energetic on stage than Noel is as well...

i've got a simple solution for you 'markiechops', don't click on the oasis articles. I mean, i have to shift through the shit to find a story about a band that means something, so i'm sure its not too hard for you to find an article about some new little cunt of a band who might be the next wombats...
