The older brother of Noel and Liam Gallagher has been charged with rape and a string of other sexual offences.
Paul Gallagher who lives in East Finchley in north London, was charged by Scotland Yard following an investigation that began last year.
The 59-year-old has been accused of rape, as well as sexual assault, coercive control, and making threats to kill.
He is due to appear in court next month.
The Metropolitan Police said the offences took place between 2022 and 2024 and relate to one woman.
She is being supported by specialist officers, the force said.
Paul, who is one year older than Noel and seven years older than Liam, grew up with the pair in Burnage in Manchester.
But he has never been involved with Oasis which is currently mid-way through its 2025 world tour.
The band are due to play their next gig at Wembley on Wednesday before moving on to Edinburgh next week.
Paul lives in a flat that Noel bought in 2004 and has worked as a DJ and photographer.
A spokesman from the Metropolitan Police said: “Paul Gallagher, 59, of East Finchley, has been charged with rape, coercive and controlling behaviour, three counts of sexual assault, three counts of intentional strangulation, two counts of making a threat to kill and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
“The offences are reported to have taken place between 2022 and 2024.
“The charges follow an investigation which commenced in 2024.
“A woman is being supported by specially trained officers.”
Paul Gallagher will appear before Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, August 27.
