Paul Weller: 'Oasis Played Best Show Ever Despite On Stage Attack'

Paul Weller has said he believes Oasis' recent performance at a festival in Canada, which was marred by an on stage attack, was one of the best he has ever seen.

Guitarist Noel Gallagher sustained three broken ribs after a fan pushed him from behind during the band's performance at the Virgin Festival.

Weller, who was also performing at the event, said he was at the side of the stage when the attack took place but didn't see it happen.

"I didn't see the geezer come out - it was that quick! I didn't know what had happened until straight after,” he told the Sun newspaper.

Weller added that, despite the attack, he still felt the band played “an incredible gig”.

“That was one of the best times I've ever seen them. They were on fire. They were fucking great,” he added.
