Bonehead to miss Oasis tour dates to get treatment for cancer–again.

The Oasis reunion tour has hit its first real snag. Guitarist Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs will miss gigs in Australia and Asia because he needs treatment for prostate cancer. That includes Seoul, Tokyo, Melbourne and Sydney. This, he says, is a “planned break.”

This is Bonehead’s second go-round with the big C. Back in 2022, he was diagnosed with tonsil cancer which was successfully treated.

Oasis adds to their giant offering of reunion merch with a coffee table book that will weigh as much as an SUV.
