Gallagher was playing with his former band in September 2008 at the music festival when he was suddenly pushed from behind and fell on the monitor speakers. His brother and bandmate Liam, along with the security personnel, pursued Sullivan and took him away.

The now-solo singer was taken to the hospital following the attack. He suffered three broken ribs. The band was also forced to postpone their subsequent concerts.

Sullivan pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm during a hearing in November last year. At the hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice Thursday, he was sentenced to 12 months of house arrest.
