Oasis Guitarist Paul Arthurs Withdraws From Asian, Australian Tour Due to Prostate Cancer Treatment

Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs, the guitarist for the British rock band Oasis, announced he is taking a break from their 2025 reunion tour due to a prostate cancer diagnosis earlier this year. Arthurs shared that he is responding well to treatment but will miss upcoming shows in Seoul, Tokyo, Melbourne, and Sydney as he undergoes the next phase of care, with plans to return for the South America leg of the tour. He expressed sadness over missing the shows but remains optimistic about his recovery and future performances. Arthurs is an original member of Oasis and rejoined the band for the reunion tour after departing in 1999. Previously, he was diagnosed with tonsil cancer in 2022 but was given the all-clear later that year. Fans and the band have sent their support and well wishes during his treatment period.
