'Here's to next year': Oasis guitarist Bonehead updates fans on cancer fight

Oasis guitarist Bonehead has updated fans on his cancer battle. The legendary Manchester musician thanked fans for their messages of support as he started his final session of chemotherapy.

The musician, whose real name is Paul Arthurs, is widely known as the rhythm guitarist, keyboardist and co-founder of English rock band Oasis. He announced in April that he had been diagnosed with tonsil cancer just before he was to join Liam Gallagher on his upcoming shows at Manchester's Etihad and Knebworth Park.
