Oasis miss festival Liam sorry


Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher has excused to fans after illness pressured the band to pull out of their headline slot at the V Festival in Essex.
The band performed in Stafford on Saturday but Gallagher was apprised by doctors not to perform again after being diagnosed with viral laryngitis.
"The voice may of [sic] ceased but I'm still here," he said via Twitter.
"First things first, V, I'm gutted, you're gutted. I'm sorry, what can I say?"
Snow Patrol stepped up to fill the headline slot.
Their encore added versions of Oasis classics Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova, while psychedelic US rockers MGMT accomplished a cardboard cut out of Liam on stage as they played Live Forever in his honour.
Liam Gallagher added: "Respect to those bands who covered Oasis last night."
