Gallagher 'won't go to Toronto court'

Noel Gallagher has reportedly agreed not to visit the Toronto court when the man who assaulted him in 2008 is sentenced.

The sentencing of 48-year-old Daniel Sullivan, who pushed Gallagher off stage during a concert, had been delayed after the musician was given permission to read a witness statement.

However, according to the Toronto Star, the former Oasis guitarist agreed with prosecutor Ruth Kleinhenz-Neilson not to make the trip because of scheduling problems and concerns of a media circus.

The hearing for Sullivan has now been rescheduled to March 23.

Gallagher plays his first post-Oasis solo shows this month at the Royal Albert Hall.
