Early life

Paul Benjamin Arthurs was born in Manchester, the son of Irish Catholic immigrants. In the nearby town of Prestwich, he attended St. Peter's Roman Catholic Grammar School. Since his parents insisted that he get very short haircuts, he earned the lifelong nickname "Bonehead" at the age of eight. "It was just my mum and dad throughout my life, really, it was called me Paul," Arthurs said. Arthurs left school in 1981 and spent as a plasterer. Pleasure and Pain, his first band, formed in 1984. He began a relationship with his future wife Kate around this time. Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan, Tony McCarroll, and Chris Hutton formed the Rainband in the late 1980s when working as a building contractor. Bonehead, unlike the Gallagher Brothers, is a Manchester United fan.

Career

Liam Gallagher, who had suggested that the band change their name to Oasis, was fired when Hutton was fired. Gallagher and Arthurs were co-songwriters. However, the band were nevertheless unsuccessful until Gallagher recruited Noel, who had just returned from travelling the world as a roadie for Inspiral Carpets, to join the band. Noel carried with him a set of songs that were supposed to make the band famous. Arthurs remembers the first songs Noel Gallagher performed to him, "Live Forever" and "All Around the World." As Noel played "Champagne Supernova" to the band on their tour bus, Arthurs collapsed and cries. On the Definitely Maybe DVD, he said that "Columbia" was his favorite Oasis song to perform live, since the album only featured three chords that create a hypnotic groove.

When Oasis performed "Whatever" on Top of the Pops, they mused, and one of the cellists from the string section was replaced by Arthurs. He began playing the bow towards the end of the song.

Arthurs is a multi-instrumentalist who is best known for his appearances on piano and mellotron (What's the Story) Morning Glory? In the video for "Don't Look Back in Anger," as well as photographs from the Definitely Maybe album booklet, the singer can be seen on piano. Arthurs briefly switched to bass guitar after Scott McLeod — who replaced McGuigan before being compelled to return — left Oasis' 1995 U.S. tour; he appeared with the band on the Late Show with David Letterman playing bass; he briefly appeared on the Late Show with Bassist David Letterman playing bass.

Arthurs was originally supposed to sing lead vocals on the (What's the Story) Morning Glory. Bonehead's Bank Holiday (named after him) is a vinyl bonus track. Noel Gallagher sang lead vocals instead after he and Liam Gallagher became inebriated on the day of recording the album. Both Arthurs and Liam's backing vocals can be heard on the track.

Arthurs left the band in 1999, during the recording of Oasis' fourth album, Standing on the Shoulder of Giants. According to his official statement, he wanted to spend more time with his family (his first child, Lucy, was born on January 23, 1995) and his son, Jude Arthurs was born on August 12, 1997).

Arthurs was replaced by Gem Archer, who was later described as a "professional" in a tweet. The rest of the band played down the reaction to his departure, with Noel Gallagher saying, "We're hardly Paul McCartney leaving The Beatles," after he said, "We've got to honour their (Bonehead and Guigs) decision as family guys." Gallagher has confessed to having no offence against the former rhythm guitarist and praiseing him for the effort he put forth on several occasions. Arthurs was "the spirit of Oasis" in Gallagher's review in 2016.

Arthurs lives in Manchester, where he has built a recording studio under his house and founded Moondog One (named after Johnny and the Moondogs, one of the Beatles' former titles before they rose to fame), which also includes The Smiths' Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke.

Arthurs performed rhythm guitar with Sek Loso's latest English bandmates in 2004. In search of a label bargain, the group toured Asia, Europe, and the United States.
