The Oasis singer lost several teeth and was arrested and charged with assault after.
Liam Gallagher, vocalist for the legendary UK rock band Oasis, lost several teeth during a punch-up in a hotel in Munich, Germany, where in which he kicked a police officer in the ribs.
A gig in Hamburg planned for that night was cancelled as the singer would have to spend much of the day in a dentist’s chair. Christoph Reichenbach, a Munich police spokesperson described Liam “The boy didn’t look good. Several of his teeth were punched out.”
Reichenbach said the then 30-year-old Gallagher and two other band members had got into a fight with five Italians in a nightclub at Munich's top hotel, the Bayerischer Hof. Liam's brother, guitarist Noel Gallagher, was not involved, police said.
Officers arrived at the scene after being alerted by the nightclub manager, by which time the fight had moved out into the hotel foyer. When Liam was detained he attacked a police officer and kicked him in the ribs "with full force," Reichenbach said.
The band's website said they were innocent victims in the brawl. "Several members of Oasis and their entourage were the victims of an unprovoked attack by a group of youths in a Munich club," it said, adding that Gallagher had "sustained facial injuries" in the assault.
The 2002 Munich incident was discussed in Oasis’ recent documentary Supersonic. Watch the trailer below.
