THE OTHER BROTHER

Brother of Oasis’ Noel and Liam Gallagher Charged With Rape

Paul Gallagher is facing charges including sexual assault and other violent offenses.

Oasis band members Noel and Liam Gallagher’s oldest brother, Paul Gallagher, has been charged with sexual assault, according to The Telegraph. Gallagher stands accused of rape, three counts of sexual assault, three counts of intentional strangulation, coercive and controlling behavior, two counts of making threats to kill, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, according to the Metropolitan Police in London. The charges against the 59-year-old follow a yearlong investigation. The alleged incidents are reported to have taken place between 2022 and 2024, and Gallagher’s court date is set for Aug. 27. The news comes after the British rock band announced its new worldwide tour in 2024 after a 15-year hiatus following its disbanding in 2009. Gallagher previously worked as a DJ and photographer but never reached his siblings’ level of fame. Gallagher has also had a bitter relationship with his Oasis brothers, detailed in his book, Brothers from Childhood to Oasis: The Real Story.
