Oasis Enlist Mike Moore; Bonehead Plans November Return

Oasis will continue their Live ’25 reunion tour while founding guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs takes a planned break for the next phase of prostate cancer treatment; he says he’s responding well and expects to rejoin the band for the South America leg beginning in Buenos Aires on November 15. For the Asian and Australian dates in Seoul (including the Goyang Stadium show), Tokyo, Melbourne and Sydney, the band has enlisted Mike Moore — a longtime friend of Liam Gallagher who has played in his solo band since 2017 — to cover Bonehead’s rhythm-guitar role, and Moore was spotted arriving in Seoul ahead of the show. The rest of the reunion lineup (Noel Gallagher, Gem Archer, Andy Bell, Joey Waronker and Christian Madden) remains intact, with members and fans publicly sending well wishes. Bonehead, who was given the all-clear for tonsil cancer in 2022, described missing the recent shows as "really sad" but said he is "feeling good." Moore said he is excited and honoured to step in temporarily while the band continues its international run.
