Bonehead joined Beady Eye on-stage for tribute concert
by Tamsyn Wilce
Bonehead, otherwise known as Paul Arthurs, has spoken of his recent performance with Beady Eye - saying that it had felt like they'd 'never been apart'.
The ex-Oasis guitarist left the band in 1999, but was asked to step in for Beady Eye guitarist Gem Archer who is currently recovering from a fractured skull, for a one-off performance at The Charlatans' tribute concert for late drummer Jon Brookes. Their set that included Oasis songs 'Live Forever' and 'Columbia'.
Speaking of the reunion with Gallagher, Bonehead told NME: "[Liam and I] said beforehand 'This is going to be weird', but once I plugged my amp in it was as if we'd never been apart. I've matured and Liam's more professional too... Liam seemed the same Liam. He looked great and sang great."

The performance has only enhanced the rumours of an Oasis reunion in the near future, although Bonehead remains skeptical that it will happen any time soon, saying: "If someone asked me to play Glastonbury next year, I'd do it for nothing, but I think it'd be too soon, really. Oasis have only just split up."
