Oasis member Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs announces break from tour for cancer recovery

Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, the co-founder of the Oasis band, announced that he would be taking a break from the concert gigs at a couple of pit stops, as he has been recovering from cancer treatments. Earlier this year, the 60-year-old musician was diagnosed with prostate cancer; now, he has been recovering positively.

In an Instagram post, Arthurs wrote a heartening note about taking a planned break for his next phase of care. “I’ll be missing the gigs in Seoul, Tokyo, Melbourne, and Sydney.
