Oasis reunion tour updates: Who’s in, who’s out when it comes to the rest of the band.

Any Oasis reunion tour must include Liam and Noel, of course. But what about the rest of the band?

IN: Paul “Bonehead” Arturs, an original member of Oasis. He was with the band before Noel joined. He left in 1999.

IN: Gem Archer. He joined in 1999 as Bonehead’s replacement. He was with them until things went sideways that night in Paris in 2009. He later joined Liam in Beady Eye.

IN: Andy Bell. Guigsy and Bonehead left at the same time in 1999. Bell (ex of Ride) took over on bass from Guigsy and stayed with Oasis until 2009. He was also in Beady Eye.

OUT: Guigsy, unless someone is feeling generous.

OUT: Tony McCarroll, the original Oasis drummer. Noel fired him around the time the group started recording (What’s the Story) Morning Glory album. He later sued for lost royalties and walked away with a £550,000 settlement. He will not be welcomed back

WE’RE NOT SURE: As for a drummer, Alan White made some noise that had tongues wagging. Now it appears that Zak Starkey will be back for the reunion tour.
