Paul Gallagher, 59, brother of Oasis legends Liam and Noel, faces severe charges, including rape. The Metropolitan Police have confirmed multiple counts, such as assault occasioning actual bodily harm, three counts of sexual assault, intentional strangulation, coercive and controlling behaviour, and two counts of making threats to kill.

 

These charges follow allegations from incidents reported between 2022 and 2024. The police investigation commenced in 2024, and the alleged victim is receiving support from specially trained officers.

 

Paul Gallagher, unrelated to the music scene unlike his famous siblings, will appear in Westminster Magistrates' Court on 27 August. He has yet to provide a public statement on these charges.

 

Growing up in Burnage, Manchester, Paul is a year older than Noel and seven years senior to Liam. Despite the family connection, he has remained apart from the band's activities.

 

Oasis is currently enjoying a successful reunion tour, dazzling audiences in Cardiff, Manchester, and London, with more dates set in Edinburgh and Dublin before taking their tour across North America.

 

These legal proceedings cast a shadow amid the band's triumphant return to the stage. Observers await how this situation might unfold, considering the high-profile nature of those involved. As the court date approaches, the spotlight rests firmly on Paul as these serious allegations are addressed.

So are these from the accusations of a wife/gf, or random attacks on strangers?
