Oasis pull out of V Festival

Liam Gallagher told to rest sore throat

Liam Gallagher has viral laryngitis

Oasis didn't appear at the Virgin Media V festival in Essex after Liam Gallagher was struck down with laryngitis.

The band, who performed at the Staffordshire site on Saturday, were due to close the music event last night.

But Liam was advised by doctors not to perform, leaving Snow Patrol to fill the slot.

Noel Gallagher wrote on his blog that he 'didn't enjoy it one bit' and was not feeling well himself.

‘Don't feel too clever,' he wrote. ‘Outrageous stomach ache. Feel like I'm coming down with summat.

'Might have to get the doctor out in the morning. Hope it came out of the speakers ok.

'Gutted. Oh well, there's always tomorrow [sic].’

Liam is said to be resting up ahead of their next gig is Paris on Friday.
