Andrew Piran Bell (born 11 August 1970)[1] is a British musician and songwriter. He is best known as the bass guitarist of Oasis and vocalist and guitarist of the shoegaze band Ride. Bell has also been a member of Hurricane #1 and Beady Eye, an offshoot of Oasis which released two studio albums between 2009 and 2014. With Ride, Bell helped pioneer shoegaze, an alternative rock subgenre which reached its peak popularity in the early 1990s.[2][3][4]
Bell first joined Oasis in November 1999, following the departure of founding bass guitarist Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan, and was a member of the band for ten years until the band's break-up in 2009. Bell contributed to the band's final three studio albums – Heathen Chemistry (2002), Don't Believe the Truth (2005) and Dig Out Your Soul (2008) – often contributing to the songwriting process and receiving sole songwriting credits on several songs. When the band reunited in 2024 after 15 years of inactivity, Bell rejoined Oasis for the Oasis Live '25 Tour.
Bell has released five solo albums: The View from Halfway Down (2020), Pattern Recognition (2021), Flicker (2022), Tidal Love Numbers (2023) and Pinball Wanderer (2025). As of 2023, Bell has also been a member of the supergroup, Mantra of the Cosmos, alongside Shaun Ryder, Zak Starkey and Bez.[5]
