BREAKING NEWS: Oasis cancel Eden gig

OASIS were due to play their first ever gig in Cornwall next week, but it has just been announced that the band have had to postpone the date due to the injuries Noel sustained when he was attacked whilst performing onstage in Toronto recently.



The band's management confirmed this late this afternoon with the following statement: "Oasis are being forced to postpone three further shows as a result of the injuries Noel sustained when he was attacked on stage in Toronto. A CT scan has now revealed that Noel suffered three broken and dislodged ribs in the attack and he has been advised by his doctor that he will not be able to perform for at least another week.

"The three affected shows are the Eden Project, Cornwall on September 27, the Gloria Theatre, Cologne on September 29 and Bataclan, Paris on September 30. All three shows will be rescheduled and fans are advised to retain their tickets pending further announcements. The Oasis UK Arena Tour, beginning October 7, is going ahead as planned."

Peter Hampel, Eden's creative director, said: "We are sorry to hear that Noel's injuries mean that he will not be well enough for the band to perform on Saturday and we wish him a speedy recovery. We share fans' disappointment at the latest news. We are now talking to the band's management about rescheduling the concert."

Ticket holders are advised to keep their tickets and await further announcements.
