Breaking news live from V-fest courtesy of Ricky. Apparently Liam got a taste of a Canadian knuckle sandwich. Here are the (sparse) details of what went down in text message stylee:
Ricky: Liam just got decked on stage
Me: Wtf? by who?
Ricky: No idea, came from side of stage.
Me: Any further detail?
Ricky: They continue on playing.
As I write this post, Ricky just called giving a bit more detail. He still doesn’t know who it was that punched Liam but as sure as Noel can strum some killer riffs, security stormed on stage tackling and dispatching said perpetrator, during which time Oasis left the stage for about 5 minutes, returning to play 5-6 more tunes but not nearly as much as expected. Liam sang ‘Wonderwall’ and ‘I am the Walrus’ and Noel subsequently took over vocal duties for the rest of the gig.
The set is officially over now, watch this space for updates as they transpire.
That’s rock and roll mista.
update: apparantly, security got to the fan before he got his punch on, but both men went down. It was pretty fast. I was too busy singing whats the story morning glory to notice..but then the mic dropped. Liam also sang Supersonic, but the set ended at 10:38 w/o encore.
Apparantly, it was Noel..and the guy was from under the stage, WWF Style.
