10 Moments That Prove Noel Gallagher Is A Genius

4. That Time He Got Attacked Onstage But Survived

Absolutely nails Noel, isn’t he? Look at him taking a massive tumble after being attacked by what is obviously a highly trained martial artist with bolts of lightning shooting from his manic eyes.

This disturbing scene occurred during an Oasis show in Toronto back in 2008 during a performance of ‘Morning Glory’ which, evidently, had annoyed someone. As you can see, Noel takes a hell of a barge in the back and he hits the deck with far more aplomb than the way Liam attempted to slam a sneaky left hook into the perpetrator’s grill in the moments afterwards. Good effort, William, but poor execution.

Noel received three broken ribs from the attack and would later describe it as akin to being 'hit by a bus' after initially fearing he'd been stabbed.

Still, the show carried on not too long afterwards which confirms that, much like God, Noel is indestructible, omnipotent and a very accomplished guitarist.
