Oasis cancellation, Gallagher/Cruise confrontation
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 21 January 2009
Oasis have been forced to cancel a show in Dusseldorf and reschedule it for 4 Feb. It’s all because singer Liam Gallagher has fluid on his vocal chords (whatever that means) and was advised to rest for 48 hours.
Tickets will be valid for the new date or can be refunded at the point of purchase, and the change to the schedule won’t affect any subsequent dates.
Gallagher has had more than throat trouble in Germany recently. According to reports, he recently ran into Tom Cruise, of whom he is heard saying during the course of 2007 rock documentary ‘Lord Don’t Slow Me Down’: “I hate Tom Cruise. I can’t stand that small bastard – him and Michael Owen”. Cruise, it seems, is aware of the comments.
Speaking about the meeting, a source says: “For the first time in his life, Liam was lost for words. Tom did a double-take as they passed each other and went back to say hello. And without losing the smile from his face, he reminded Liam about the cheeky comments he’d made. They made polite conversation and Liam made a hasty departure”.
