A man has died after falling during an Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium in London.
In a statement the Metropolitan Police said: “A man – aged in his 40s – was found with injuries consistent with a fall.
“He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
“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.
“If you have any information that could help us to confirm what happened, please call 101.”
Oasis said in a statement: “We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night. Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.”
A witness told the Daily Mail: “It was horrendous.
“The guy fell from a balcony. Paramedics came rushing over. There was a lot of screaming and shouting.
“It was a big fall. God knows how it happened. It was so tragic. I don’t know how on Earth it happened.
“It was heartbreaking. He was only young.”
The fall happened during the latest in a run of stadium shows for the band’s sell-out Live ’25 reunion tour – their first since splitting in 2009.
Wembley Stadium said their concert on Sunday night would still be going ahead.
A spokesperson said: “Last night, Wembley Stadium medics, the London ambulance service and the police attended to a concertgoer who was found with injuries consistent with a fall.
“Despite their efforts, the fan very sadly died. Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers.”
Oasis dedicated Live Forever to “all the people who can’t be here tonight” during their Wembley Stadium gig on Sunday, after a fan fell to his death at the band’s convert on Saturday.
The touching moment came as the Manchester band brought to a close their first run of five gigs at the venue as part of their Live 25 tour.
A man in his 40s was pronounced dead at the scene at the stadium on Saturday after being “found with injuries consistent with a fall”.
Addressing fans at Sunday night’s concert after finishing Whatever, singer Liam Gallagher said: “This one’s for all the people who can’t be here tonight, but who are here if you know what I mean, and aren’t they looking lovely. Live Forever.”
The band then played the track of the same name. – PA/Guardian
