Liam speaks out about Toronto attack on day one of UK tour

Oasis' Liam Gallagher has spoken about his brother and bandmate Noel Gallagher being attacked in Toronto last month.

Noel Gallagher was attacked on stage on September 7, resulting in the guitarist sustaining rib injuries that forced Oasis to cancel a slew of gigs.

Oasis kicked off their UK tour in Liverpool last night (October 7).

"It's not nice when you look down and see your brother on the deck," he told Sky News before the show, referring to the assault on Noel. "If it was up to me, I'd have cut his [the attacker's] dick off and made him eat it."

Liam went on to say that the band had no plans to wind down following the release of their seventh album, 'Dig Out Your Soul', which came out on Monday (October 6).

"We'll carry on as long as we want to carry on," he said. "There's good music out there to be wrote and we're the ones to write it."

Oasis' 'Dig Out Your Soul' seems destined for the Number One slot in the UK albums chart, having sold 89,434 on its first day of release.

Liam is an absolute LEGEND. Best front man of our generation by a country mile.

WHAT? We've all seen the footage, and far from getting involved in any trouble, Liam actually looks scared! Apart from thowing a token punch once the guy is surrounded by security guards, he does nothing to make himself look like the tough guy he makes out he is. And, while we're at it, can we stop calling this guy 'Noel's attacker'. I mean I'm not condoning what he did, but he pushed Noel over, that's all. It may have had nasty consequences for Noel, but it's not an 'attack'. And surely, when your whole image is built on the ieda of embracing violence, you shouldn't be such a cry-baby when it backfires on you. On the plus side, it looks like they're playing a good set again at least.

the thing is noel and liam can reel these off all day, cause the articles will mention theyve got a new album out to all their 40-something fans who have lost touch with music but have a bit of money to spare for an album they can wear out for a few months.noels cracked ribs were the best promotion of the new album.

So, someone pushes Noel Gallgher offstage and you allthink that's fine because you don't like the band. Well then in that case, I hope someone pushes Thom Yorke offstage too. I'm not a big Kaiser Chiefs fan - maybe someone could punch him in the stomach ?

That's so true. I was going to comment on that, but you beat me to it Wolf. Has Liam ever won a fight anyway? Didn't someone knock all his teeth out awhile back? bah ha.

TimesUp your a bell end yeah Liam did get his front teeth knocked out by some members of the german mafia I'd f***ing like to see you in a scrap with mafiosa

Anyone that knows Noel will know that he has admitted that his arrogance is total tongue in cheek. In his own words " you dont knwo how long the fame will last - so we're just having fun while we're here."

Well gerwin, i wouldn't be stupid enough to pick a fight with the german mafia, and if you have any sense (which i doubt) neither would you.... So if anyone is a bell end, then it would be Liam.
