Liam Gallagher reveals injuries after he “fell out of a helicopter” following Isle of Wight set
Liam Gallagher has revealed his injuries after he “fell out of a helicopter” yesterday (September 17).
Earlier in the day, Gallagher had closed the first day at the Isle of Wight Festival with a set that included a number of his solo songs alongside some classic Oasis hits.
Posting on Twitter this afternoon, Gallagher shared a picture of his injuries along with a post which said: “So check this out I fell out the helicopter last night you couldn’t [write] it.”
He reassured fans saying he was now “all good” before joking: “Who said [Rock n Roll] is dead. Keith Moon eat your drum skin out. C’mon you know.”
He then shared a picture of a bottle of Estrella with the caption: “What doesn’t kill ya makes ya. TUFF GOING.”

Gallagher played a number of Oasis classics at his Isle of Wight set including ‘Rock N Roll Star’ and ‘Cigarettes & Alcohol’ between solo hits ‘Wall of Glass’ and ‘Shockwave’.
The encore was made up of ‘Supersonic’, ‘Acquiesce’, ‘Roll With It’ and ‘Live Forever’.

Meanwhile, the director of new Oasis film, Oasis Knebworth 1996 has told NME that he thinks the band will get back together one day.
They famously split after a bust up in Paris back in 2009 and Liam and Noel Gallagher have constantly been involved in ongoing spats ever since.
But ahead of the release of the new documentary, which is released in cinemas on September 23, when asked if he ever thought the band would get back together, director Jake Scott said: “Yeah. I’d love to think so. It’d be lovely. Oh God it’d be great wouldn’t it?
“There’s so much studio manipulation in music now. Just a solid rock n roll band would be an amazing thing to see again.”
