FORMER Oasis drummer Tony McCarroll has revealed he was admitted to hospital last week after suffering a heart attack.
McCarroll, 50, one of the founding members of the group, added that he was 'not quite out of the woods' just yet.
Meanwhile Liam Gallagher offered his support to his former band mate and fellow second-generation Irishman.

McCarroll co-founded the band that would become Oasis in 1991 as The Rain, with Paul McGuigan, Paul Arthurs and Chris Hutton.
The latter was soon replaced by Gallagher, who suggested the band change their name to Oasis, before older brother Noel joined.
After being ousted in 1995, McCarroll sued the band, but relations appear to have thawed in recent years.
