An Oasis founding member is stepping away from the band’s highly-anticipated reunion tour following a prostate cancer diagnosis.
On Friday, guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs shared his health news on Instagram, announcing his temporary departure from the Oasis Live ’25 World Tour, which kicked off on July 4 in Cardiff, Wales.
“Early this year I was diagnosed with prostate cancer,” he shared in his post. “The good news is I’m responding really well to treatment, which meant I could be part of this incredible tour. Now, I am having to take a planned break for the next phase of my care, so I’ll be missing the gigs in Seoul, Tokyo, Melbourne and Sydney.”
Arthurs continued, “I’m really sad to be missing these shows but I’m feeling good and will be back ready to go in time for South America. Have an amazing time if you’re going this month and I’ll see you back onstage with the band in November. Bonehead. X”
The band’s next stop after Arthurs’ break will be in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Nov. 15 and 16.
Following reports of an Oasis reunion tour, Liam Gallagher confirmed the news last August that he and brother Noel were reuniting, after their long-held sibling rivalry resulted in the latter leaving the group mid-tour in 2009.
“It is with some sadness and great relief…I quit Oasis tonight,” Noel wrote in a statement at the time. “People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer.”
