But Paul quit the band in 1999 so he could spend more time with his two children. At the time Oasis were recording their fourth studio album.
Arthurs and Gallagher first started playing together in the band The Rain, which Gallagher suggested be renamed Oasis.
They did not enjoy much success until Gallagher’s brother Noel joined and they became global stars.
Arthurs has continued to work with Gallagher over the years, including in his band Beady Eye and on his solo projects.
