Noel Gallagher Credits Bones For Getting Oasis Back Together

Noel Gallagher has revealed that Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs is the one responsible for the current Oasis reunion tour.

Oasis ended a 16-year absence and made a triumphant return to the stage on Friday night at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium in front of more than 70,000 fans.

During the second show at the same venue on Saturday night, guitarist and songwriter Noel told the crowd the true reason that the Gallagher brothers were able to get back together was one of their mutual bandmates.

While introducing the rest of the band between songs, Noel referred to Bonehead, saying: “On guitar, if it wasn’t for him, none of this would have happened.”

Back in March, NME revealed that Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs would be part of the Oasis reunion, alongside Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Joey Waronker.

Arthurs played with the band on their first three albums, before departing in 1999 during the recording of Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants. He has played regularly with Liam Gallagher’s solo band in recent years.

Opening the second Cardiff show, Noel and Liam walked on stage hand in hand, as they had done the previous night, before bowing to each other. They then took their positions on opposite sides of the stage and launched into the opener, Hello.

NME gave the historic gig five stars in a review that read: “After a ’90s heyday and an often maligned post-millennium era, this is Oasis redesigned for the 21st century.”
