TORONTO - Noel Gallagher wants to tell his own story, Morning Glory.
The millionaire Brit rocker, who played with his brother, Liam, in the now-defunct band Oasis, wants to read his own victim impact statement at the sentencing of a drunken fan who attacked him, Crown prosecutor Ruth Kleinhenz-Neilson said Friday.
"The complainant has said he would like to come forward," Kleinhenz-Neilson said, adding the case would have to be adjourned to accommodate the request.
Daniel Sullivan, 48, of Oshawa, was to have been sentenced Friday for the September 2007 incident at the Virgin Music Fest on Toronto Island. His lawyer, John Collins, argued it was unfair to make Sullivan wait any longer to hear his fate.
"This is still a court of equity," Collins said.
"He (Sullivan) did the honourable thing when he pleaded guilty two months ago ... and he has been under considerable emotional stress.
"He is remorseful far beyond what this case requires."
Justice Richard Schneider expressed sympathy for Collins' position but granted the Crown's request, saying he needed to err on the side of allowing the victim a voice in the case.
Sullivan's sentencing is now on hold until both sides can agree to a date when Gallagher can appear.
Sullivan, who pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm in November, has admitted he was so drunk he can't remember how he got on stage to attack Gallagher. He blindsided the guitarist as he played and battered him into a speaker, breaking three of the artist's ribs.
He then headed toward Liam Gallagher but was intercepted by security.
Oasis was forced to cancel several concerts after the attack and Gallagher has said it took him eight months to recover.
He's reportedly suing Sullivan for $2 million.
It wasn't the first time Gallagher has been attacked on stage. In 1994, Liam bashed his brother with a tambourine as the band played in Los Angeles -- just one of several boozy incidents that made the brothers notorious in their heyday.
