Rock band Oasis was performing at Toronto’s Virgin Festival on Island Park yesterday in front of 25,000 fans when a man ran from the back of the stage and shoved guitarist Noel Gallagher from behind and knocking him to his knees, and nearly off the front of the stage. He then lunged at lead singer Liam Gallagher, who stepped back as security rushed the intruder. The band took a 10-minute break, while the man was put into a police car and taken away, before resuming with “The Importance of Being Idle.” A Virgin spokesperson says both brothers were fine after the attack. Daniel Sullivan, 47, from Pickering has been charged with assault in connection with the incident and will appear in Toronto’s Old City Hall court house on October 24.
