Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher have rekindled their silence after Paul Bonehead’s diagnosis of prostate cancer this evening.
Liam and Noel Gallagher has broken their silence after their Oasis bandmate Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs announced he is receiving treatment for prostate cancer and will step away from several upcoming tour dates.
The Gallagher brothers addressed Bonehead’s diagnosis in a statement, saying, “We’ll see you back on stage in South America. We wish you all the best with your treatment.
The band were completely in support of Bonehead, according to a source close to Oasis’ statement to the Mirror. They obviously wanted him to play the tour, but Liam and Noel were equally as clear that his health was important.
He should only miss a few dates because he has played most of the shows. No details have been fully confirmed, but it’s possible Bonehead will fill in on rhythm guitar for the dates he won’t be able to play.

The 60-year-old musician confirmed his health news in a message to fans on X on Friday evening. The much-loved star told his millions of loyal fans: “Early this year I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The good news is I’m responding really well to treatment, which meant I could be part of this incredible tour.
He wrote, “I’ll be missing the gigs in Seoul, Tokyo, Melbourne, and Sydney because I’m having a planned break for the next phase of my care.”
Arthurs continued, “I’m really sad I’m going to miss these shows, but I’m feeling good and will be back in time for South America. If you’re going this month, have a wonderful time, and I’ll see you back onstage with the band in November.
A source close to the group told the Mirror: “The band have known about the diagnosis from the outset and were fully behind Bonehead. Of course they wanted him to play the tour, but also Liam and Noel were clear his health comes first.
He should only miss a few dates because he has played most of the shows. No details have been fully confirmed, but Bonehead may be available on rhythm guitar for the dates he is unable to play, according to them.
Arthurs has been central to the reunion of Liam and Noel, which has led to the band’s sell-out world tour. He is widely credited with helping convince the brothers to reconcile.
Noel introduced him on stage during their second night of Cardiff comeback shows by saying, “On drums, our 13th official drummer Joey Waronker. Mr. Bonehead, if it weren’t for him, none of this would have happened in the first place.
Oasis’s first live performance on the current tour is almost 16 years old. The Gallagher brothers’ relationship was repaired after their opening nights in Cardiff attracted a large crowds and put an end to the rumor.
Arthurs was diagnosed with tonsil cancer in 2022, and he previously experienced health issues. He later confirmed that the treatment had been successful. I had a full scan ten days ago, and it is now completely gone. “He posted at the time.
Fans continue to be affluent with the guitarist. After one supporter complained that the setlist remained unchanged, he earlier this year drew laughter on social media. In a single word, Bonehead responded, “And??????”
