Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has assured fans that the band's UK tour will take place next month despite his rib injury.
Gallagher was injured after a fan attacked him on stage during the band's performance at the Virgin festival in Canada earlier this month.
Although he has been given a five week window of recovery, the guitarist said he would make the bands opening night in Liverpool.
Speaking to Russell Brand on BBC Radio 2, Gallagher said: "(My ribs) are on the mend. The next gig is in ten days in Liverpool.
“I'm not gonna be right for that, it takes another five weeks to heal up, but we've got to start that tour because it'll be two years' work out the window.”
Oasis were forced to cancel a host of US and European dates because of the attack. A 47-year-old man has since been charged over the incident.
As previously reported on Gigwise, Oasis will close the BBC's Electric Proms in October. Click here for more information.
