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.”
