Oasis have been left ‘shocked and saddened’ after a fan sadly fell to his death at one of the band’s Wembley Stadium concerts.
According to media reports, the man fell from the stadium’s upper tier.
Metropolitan Police confirmed in a statement that officers on duty at the stadium on Saturday night (2 August) responded, alongside venue medics and the London Ambulance Service, at around 10:20pm to reports that a person had been injured, and when they arrived at the scene that found that a man in his 40s sustained injuries ‘consistent with a fall’.
Despite the best efforts of all emergency services involved, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
A concertgoer on social media said they saw the incident and described it as ‘horrific’, and the police are presuming that many other present at the concert will have also witnessed the event – therefore urging them to come forward with any information they may have.
“The stadium was busy, and we believe it is likely a number of people witnessed the incident, or may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage,” Met Police said in a statement.
“If you have any information that could help us to confirm what happened, please call 101.”
Alongside the police appeal, tributes have been pouring in for the man who lost his life – including from Oasis and support act Richard Ashcroft.
Together with their bandmates, Liam and Noel Gallagher have offered their ‘sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved’.
Richard Ashcroft wrote in tribute on Instagram: “I was shocked to hear of the death of one of the audience last night. Sending my love to the family and friends.”
A tribute statement was also issued by a spokesperson for Wembley Stadium: “Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers.”
Oasis performed the final show of their five-night run at Wembley last night, and from here will now head up to Scotland, Ireland, Canada, and the United States, before returning to Wembley for two more dates in September.

Three men have been arrested after a teenager was stabbed to death in a ‘targeted attack’ in Bury town centre.
The arrests come after a 19-year-old male was attacked just before 9pm on Friday (1 August) in a car park on Market Street in Bury town centre – sustaining several stab wounds in the process and sadly later dying from his injuries.
All three of the suspects are male and aged 19, the same as the victim, and it is being treated as an isolated attack with ‘no wider threat’ to the public.
The three have each been arrested on suspicion of murder, with two of the arrests taking place in Bury and Bolton over the weekend, and the other in the early hours of the morning at Manchester Airport – with all remaining in police custody for questioning.
Despite the arrests, the investigation is still very much ongoing, and police have now appealed to the public for information.
Appealing to the public, Detective Chief Inspector John Charlton said: “This was a violent and tragic incident that was witnessed by a lot of people. This incident will have shocked the community and distressed anyone who witnessed it, but we believe this was a targeted attack with no wider threat.
“Our officers will be in the area today and over the next few days as we try to establish what happened in the lead-up to this awful incident.
“We also have specialist officers supporting the family at this difficult time.”
Anyone who has any information or was in the area at the time is asked to contact police, quoting log 3354 of 01/08/25.
