In a jaw-dropping revelation, an Oasis fan has confessed to launching an attack on frontman Liam Gallagher during the band's legendary 2009 performance at Manchester's Heaton Park.
The shocking incident occurred during one of Oasis's most memorable shows, which saw 70,000 fans pack the park for what would become one of their final UK performances before their infamous split.
The Moment That Shook the Crowd
According to the unnamed fan, the assault happened during Gallagher's signature swagger across the stage. "I just saw red," the fan admitted. "Something came over me and I lunged at him."
Security quickly intervened, but not before creating a moment of chaos at the otherwise euphoric concert. Remarkably, the unflappable Gallagher barely broke stride, continuing the show with his trademark cool.
Fan's Regret and Reflection
Now, 15 years later, the attacker expresses deep remorse: "I've carried this guilt for over a decade. I was young, drunk, and stupid. Liam didn't deserve that - he was giving us the performance of a lifetime."
The confession has sparked renewed interest in Oasis's final UK tour, with many fans recalling the electric atmosphere of those Heaton Park shows that nearly turned violent.
Oasis's Manchester Legacy
Manchester's Heaton Park holds special significance for Oasis, serving as the backdrop for their triumphant homecoming during the Dig Out Your Soul tour. The three-night stand in June 2009 remains etched in music history as both a celebration of the band's legacy and a bittersweet farewell.
While Gallagher has faced his share of on-stage incidents over the years, this newly revealed attack adds another layer to Oasis's storied - and sometimes volatile - relationship with their passionate fanbase.
