You could own Oasis legend Bonehead's piano

It was a Christmas present given to Oasis guitartist Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs. The gift of an upright walnut piano was from record boss, Alan McGee. Now it could be yours.

It will go up for auction next week. In 1996, four months after the band had famously perforned at Knebworth, four upright Yamaha pianos were individually given to each member of the Oasis band as a Christmas present by McGee, founder of the record label Creation and the man widely credited with discovering Oasis.

There's been widespread speculation that Bonehead, a member of the original Oasis line-up who has remained friends with both Gallagher brothers, would be joining them on tour next year. Within hours of Noel and Liam announcing they were getting back together, industry insiders 'confirmed' Bonehead would be part of the band for their 2025 comeback tour.

McGee famously signed the band on the spot in 1993, following a performance at King Tut’s in Glasgow, later remarking “The nights that change your life are never the ones you are expecting, are they?”. The band were eventually to leave Creation Records but Alan McGee, who managed several other well-known bands in the 1990s said working with Oasis was “always genius, wild and unpredictable. You never knew where you were with them. They were so volatile, but I loved it.”

The E108 walnut Yamaha was specifically chosen for Bonehead, the rhythm guitarist whose style helped define the Oasis sound in the 1990s. He was a founding member of Oasis and although he left the band in 1999.

Last month an instrument which Noel Gallagher called “the best guitar in the world" sold for an astonising £226,800. And a tambourine used by his brother and bandmate, Liam, fetched £6,300.
