Oasis are calling in the big boys for their gigs in London this weekend - they've hired ex-SAS men to beef up security.
Noel Gallagher reportedly decided to hire the hard men after being assaulted on stage in Canada last year.
He ended up cracking several ribs after falling on top of a monitor speaker during the attack by a crazed fan.
The band are set to play London's Wembley Arena tonight, Saturday and Sunday.
A friend of the band told The Daily Mirror: "Noel was seriously shook up after he was attacked. It was a freak moment when someone burst through and managed to get on stage. But he wanted to make sure he never had to go through that again."
"So he told Liam and the others that he wanted extra security. And, of course, they agreed - after all it could have been any of them."
"When he heard that a couple of the lads brought in to try out as security were ex-SAS, he knew he was in safe hands."
"They left the service a while ago. But their killer training never leaves them."
