Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher needed hospital treatment after being attacked on stage in Canada.

A man shoved the guitarist to the ground as the band were playing Morning Glory during their set at the V Festival in Toronto on Sunday night.

According to reports from Canada, the intruder was apprehended by security guards and later charged with assault.

Their was a brief interlude before Oasis returned to play six more songs including Wonderwall, Don't Look back In Anger, and their set-closing cover of I Am The Walrus by the Beatles.

Gallagher was later taken to hospital for a suspected broken rib.
