The band is due to continue their tour in Seoul, Tokyo, Melbourne, and Sydney after wrapping up their triumphant return to the UK.
While Bonehead said he is ‘responding well to treatment’ and is hoping to return for the South America leg of the tour.
In the meantime, The Mirror reported that fans saw Mike arriving at the Seoul airport ahead of Oasis’ gig at Goyang Stadium.

‘Mike Moore has been playing for Liam since 2017 and so he knows plenty of the Oasis tunes from the solo gigs,’ a source told the publication.
‘It’s not a full time slot in the band and everyone wants Bonehead well and back but it’s a huge privilege for Mike and he’s excited to get on the stage.’
Bonehead co-founded Oasis but initially left the group in 1999 before rejoining last year for their Live ’25 Tour.
His significance was highlighted earlier this year when Noel Gallagher told the Cardiff crowd: ‘If it wasn’t for him, none of this would have happened.’
In his statement, Bonehead shared: ‘Early this year I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. The good news is I’m responding really well to treatment, which meant I could be part of this incredible tour.

‘‘Now, I am having to take a planned break for the next phase of my care, so I’ll be missing the gigs in Seoul, Tokyo, Melbourne and Sydney. I’m really sad to be missing these shows but I’m feeling good and will be back ready to go in time for South America.’
He is due to return to the stage on November 15 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, one of the final five concerts of the tour.
Three years ago, he was diagnosed with tonsil cancer but shared that it was ‘treatable’, later announcing he was cancer-free.
After his prostate cancer announcement, the official Oasis page on X wrote: ‘Wishing you all the best with your treatment Bonehead – we’ll see you back on stage in South America.’
Metro has reached out to Oasis’ team for comment.
