About Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs

Paul Benjamin "Bonehead" Arthurs (born 23 June 1965) is an English musician. He is the co-founder and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Oasis.

He grew up in Longsight until his family moved to Levenshulme at age nine. He went to St. Peter's Roman Catholic Grammar School in the nearby town of Prestwich. He earned the lifelong nickname "Bonehead" at the age of eight after his parents insisted he get very short haircuts. "It was only my mum and dad throughout my life, really, that called me Paul," Arthurs said.
