OASIS have been forced to cancel a gig in MUNICH tonight (Sunday, December 1) following an attack on frontman LIAM GALLAGHER.
The Oasis singer suffered facial injuries and several broken teeth after he and his entourage were the victims of an “unprovoked attack” by a gang of youths in Munich late last night (Saturday, December 2), according to a statement on the band’s official web site (www.oasisinet.com). Drummer Alan White was the only other band member involved in the brawl and he escaped without injury.
Two of the band’s security men, who were with the Oasis pair, both needed hospital treatment. One of the security men, who has not been named, is still in hospital under observation after he was knocked unconscious in the attack. The German youths fled before police arrived.
