Oasis’ Former Members: Discover Their Current Lives


Just over a year ago, it became evident that anyone who had ever participated in the iconic band Oasis could be considered a former member, which notably includes the infamous Gallagher brothers, Noel and Liam Gallagher.

Excitingly, on July 4, 2025, Oasis kicked off a much-anticipated reunion tour, with the Gallagher brothers leading the charge. They were joined by a talented ensemble that included Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs on guitar, Gem Archer also on guitar, Andy Bell on bass, Christian Madden on keyboards, Joey Waronker on drums, Alastair White on trombone, Steve Hamilton on saxophone, and Joe Auckland on trumpet.

Among this illustrious group, three members—Arthurs, Archer, and Bell—are seasoned veterans of Oasis, while the others bring fresh talent and energy to the mix. Interestingly, some of these musicians represent a blend of old and new connections. For instance, Bonehead left the band in 1999 and had a rocky relationship with both Noel and Liam for many years following his departure.

“I’ve received a few late-night, drunken calls from Bonehead at three in the morning, and honestly, I don’t mind,” Liam reflected in a 2002 interview with Q. His candidness highlights the complex relationships within the band.

In contrast, Noel expressed a different sentiment, stating, “I haven’t exchanged a single word with him.” He humorously suggested that it could be a conspiracy, pondering, “I think Bonehead and Guigsy, along with McCarroll and the others, are planning to surprise me by forming a seven-piece jazz outfit. They might just tell me to f— off.”
