Paul Benjamin Arthurs[citation needed] (born 23 June 1965) is an English musician and one of the founding members of the English rock band Oasis, best known as their rhythm guitar and occasional keyboard player from 1991–1999.
Arthurs was replaced by Gem Archer, who was thereafter pointedly referred to as a “professional”. The rest of the band downplayed the reaction to his departure, Noel Gallagher commenting “it’s hardly Paul McCartney leaving the Beatles” though he also said “We’ve got to respect their (Bonehead and McGuigan) decision as family men.” Gallagher has admitted on several occasions to holding no malice toward the former rhythm guitarist and admiring him for the effort he put forth.
