Injuries sustained by three of the four band members initially caused the postponement of a concert Wednesday night at Indianapolis’ Murat Theatre. Later, the August 9 show in Philadelphia and August 10 concert in Boston were also postponed. An announcement regarding makeup dates is expected early next week.

The musicians – Noel Gallagher, Andy Bell and Jay Darington – were in a taxi Tuesday evening when it was involved in a head-on collision with another car at a busy intersection north of the city’s downtown.

Witnesses told police that the taxi’s driver, Ghebriahiwet Foto, 42, of Indianapolis, ran a red light at a busy intersection, causing the collision, Lt. Paul Ciesielski said Wednesday.

The taxi driver suffered a bloody nose, but refused treatment at the scene. He was not issued a ticket, police said.

The other car’s driver, Daryl Macon, 33, of Indianapolis, was not injured. Both cars were damaged and towed from the scene.

Gallagher, Bell and Darlington were taken by ambulance to Wishard Memorial Hospital, where they were treated for shock, cuts and bruises, according to a statement issued by concert promoter Clear Channel Entertainment.

Gallagher, seated next to the taxi’s driver, suffered heavy facial bruises and seat belt cuts. Darlington, a keyboard player, injured a hand and was to return to the hospital for further treatment on Wednesday.

Doctors ordered the musicians to rest for two days to let medication take effect, the statement said.

Liam Gallagher, the group’s lead singer, was traveling in another car and not involved in the wreck.

“Everyone seems fine,” a spokeswoman for the band told Britain’s Evening Standard newspaper. “It was quite a big collision, but the taxi did have air bags which cushioned the impact.”

The Gallaghers’ mother Peggy said Wednesday she was relieved Noel was not seriously injured.

“Thank God they are all right,” she said from her home in Manchester, England. “Noel was a bit shaken up because he got seat belt bruises, but thank God he was wearing a seat belt.”

Liam Gallagher told the British Braodcasting Corp. Wednesday that he had spoken with his brother, and that Noel was shaken by the incident.

Fans who were planning on attending the postponed concerts were advised to keep their tickets until the show could be rescheduled.

Wednesday’s accident is the latest setback for the band in the United States, which began last week in Fort Lauderdale. At that concert, Liam Gallagher’s voice gave out just four songs into the first show. Noel Gallagher had to step in a sign the two-hour set to the crowd at the Pompano Beach Ampitheatre.

His voice problems were thought to be a result of a long flight to Florida.
