The singer was released on bail, just in time to hit an all-time low in Brisbane, bickering onstage with the rest of the band and, worse, inflicting his whingeing vocals on the audience. To round off Gallagher's stellar week, Cathay Pacific Airways barred the rock group from its flights. A spokeswoman claims that Gallagher threatened to stab one of the airline...
