Oasis' Noel Gallagher attacked onstage

Oasis' Noel Gallagher was taken to the hospital Sunday night in Toronto after a man jumped onstage and pushed Gallagher from behind, causing him to fall on his monitor speakers. Gallagher was examined for a possible rib fracture and ligament damage.

The band said it is unclear whether tonight's show in London, Ontario, will go on. It is not clear whether the band's "surprise" show set for Terminal 5 in Manhattan on Friday, drumming up publicity for the forthcoming "Dig Out Your Soul" album, will be affected.

No word on the motive for the attack, which came as the band played "Morning Glory." The unidentified man was tackled as he headed for singer Liam Gallagher and the band took a five-minute break to regroup before continuing with the show.

Ever outspoken, Noel Gallagher's most recent beef has been with Jay-Z over whether the rapper should have been the headliner at this year's Glastonbury Festival.
