Oasis may be the stars of the show, but their recent stop in Chile for the South American leg of their massive world tour has drawn attention for more than just the music.
Paul Gallagher, the older brother of Liam and Noel, has quietly been following the band around the globe, from Australia to the U.S., and now to South America.
Paul Gallagher’s Surprising Presence
Despite being on bail over serious allegations including rape and coercive control, Paul has been spotted backstage at each tour stop, camera in hand.
Sources say he’s been brought along officially to photograph his superstar siblings, raising eyebrows as fans question how someone facing such grave accusations can travel the world in such style.
Critics Question the Arrangement
Insiders claim Paul has been flown internationally at no cost and even paid for his photography work.
Critics argue it’s troubling that he appears to be enjoying a VIP lifestyle while awaiting trial.
The band has declined to comment, but social media is buzzing with fans asking how this situation is possible.
Liam Shows Public Support
This isn’t the first time Liam Gallagher has openly supported his brother amid the legal storm.
At the penultimate UK show of the Oasis tour, the 53-year-old paused before performing the 1997 hit Stand By Me at Wembley Stadium to dedicate the song to Paul.
The lyrics—“I’ve got a lot of things to learn” and “Stand by me, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be”—felt especially pointed in the context.
Legal Troubles Back Home
Paul, 59, appeared at Harrow Crown Court in August and denied the charges of rape, coercive and controlling behaviour, sexual assault, intentional strangulation, threats to kill, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Alleged offences reportedly occurred between 2022 and 2024 involving a single woman.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson previously confirmed the charges, adding that the alleged victim is being supported by specially trained officers.
A Life in the Shadows
Paul lives in a flat purchased by Noel Gallagher in 2004 and has worked as a DJ and photographer.
He’s described his lifestyle as “normal” among the lower middle classes and has emphasized his preference for staying out of the public eye.
Despite growing up in Burnage, Manchester, with Liam and Noel, Paul has never been part of Oasis.
Questions Remain
As Oasis continues their tour, fans and critics alike are left wondering how the band is managing this unusual arrangement.
Paul Gallagher’s presence on the world stage, amid ongoing legal proceedings, remains a controversial talking point—one that shows no sign of fading anytime soon.
Oasis have been contacted for comment.
