The DJ and photographer has arrived at Westminster Magistrates’ Court for a first appearance.
Gallagher is charged with rape, coercive and controlling behaviour and three counts of sexual assault.
He is also accused of three counts of intentional strangulation, two counts of making a threat to kill and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
The alleged offences are said to have taken place between 2022 and 2024.
Scotland Yard confirmed a probe was launched last year and that a woman is being supported by specially trained officers.
The charges came as Oasis‘ huge Live ’25 tour continued across the UK before the band flew to the US.
The Sun told how Liam showed support for his older brother by flying with him to his latest gig ahead of his court appearance.
Gallagher, who is about one year older than Noel and seven years older than Liam, has never been involved in Oasis.
The three brothers grew up together in Burnage, Manchester.
His 1996 book Brothers: From Childhood to Oasis — The Real Story charted Liam and Noel’s struggle for success and how they coped with stardom.
It was written with the full co-operation of mum Peggie and included previously unpublished family photographs.
A statement on his behalf read: “Our client, Paul Gallagher, has been charged with a number of offences all relating to a single
complainant.
“Mr Gallagher has consistently engaged with the police throughout their investigation and always strongly denied the allegations made against him.
“He looks forward to clearing his name, but as there are now ongoing legal proceedings our client is unable to comment further.”
