Paul Gallagher, the older brother of Noel and Liam, has also been seen boarding a £3.5million private jet and flying off with his singer sibling to the band’s recent gig in Edinburgh.
The DJ, who lives in East Finchley, north London, is facing a string of charges following an investigation that began last year.
As well as rape, he is also accused of sexual assault, coercive control and making threats to kill. He is due to appear in court later this month.
The offences are said to date from between 2022 and 2024 and relate to one woman.
Paul, who at 59 is one year older than Noel and seven years older than Liam, grew up with the pair in Burnage, Manchester.
Photographs published by The Sun show Paul with Liam arriving at Luton airport, while another was taken of Paul outside the Oasis frontman’s north London mansion on Friday.
A source said it showed the musician wanted to show support for his older brother.
‘Liam is supporting Paul through this. It says a lot about Liam.
‘He has an incredibly hectic schedule at the moment because of the tour — but he wants to be there for his big brother.’
While he has previously not been involved with Oasis, which is currently mid-way through its sold-out reunion tour, Paul Gallagher is listed on an official programme as the ‘tour DJ’.
The band are scheduled to play three more shows at Wembley before moving onto Edinburgh, Dublin and then further abroad.
Paul lives in a flat that Noel bought in 2004 and has worked as a DJ and photographer.
He has previously described himself as living a normal life ‘amongst the lower middle classes’.
Paul added that he tries to avoid public attention, preferring to stay ‘invisible’.
A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police previously 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.
Paul lives in a flat that Noel bought in 2004 and has worked as a DJ and photographer.
‘The offences are reported to have taken place between 2022-2024. 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.
Oasis announced their highly anticipated reunion tour in August last year, after Noel quit in 2009 after a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
Before the recent string of concerts, the last time they played Wembley was on July 12, 2009, when they performed during their Dig Out Your Soul tour.
The group kicked off their Oasis Live ’25 world tour on July 4 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
The group has also dominated the UK album charts, with three top five albums, according to the Official Charts Company.
After their gig at Edinburgh on Tuesday and Dublin’s Croke Park on August 17, Oasis will head off to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America.
