Man falls to his death at Oasis concert at London's Wembley Stadium
The tragedy took place on Saturday night and reports have suggested that the fan fell from the stadium's upper tier of the 90,000-capacity venue.
The band went on to say: 'Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.'
The Metropolitan Police confirmed the news on Sunday, saying that officers and medics at the stadium and the London Ambulance Service responded to reports that a person had sustained injuries at 10:19pm, towards the end of the band's set.
'A man – aged in his 40s – was found with injuries consistent with a fall,' a police statement said. '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.'
Saturday night's gig was the fourth in a run of five shows at Wembley for Oasis – the final one being last night. The concert went ahead as planned.
The band will go on to play three shows in Edinburgh and two in Dublin before heading across the Atlantic for the North American leg of the Oasis Live '25 reunion tour. They will then head back to the UK for two final Wembley shows in September, and it has been reported that negotiations are currently underway to bring the sell-out tour to mainland Europe.

The space, dedicated to local fans, will open on Monday, August 25 in Plaza Carso. The store, which will be active until September 13, 2025, will offer the official Oasis Live '25 collection, with men's and women's apparel, accessories, posters, T-shirts, and sweatshirts. The store will also include limited editions and exclusive models featuring album covers and iconic singles such as Definitely Maybe, (What's the Story) Morning Glory?, Wonderwall, and Supersonic. The initiative comes on the back of Oasis' comeback tour, which has generated a massive response with stadiums selling out fast and new dates being added in different countries. In the UK, the pop-up stores have established themselves as an extension of the Live '25 experience, with thousands of fans taking part at each stop. As confirmed by the organisers, online reservations for the Mexico City store are already sold out due to high demand. However, they reiterated that walk-in access will also be possible, subject to availability and capacity. They recommend attendees without reservations to come in advance to ensure their admission. It is worth mentioning that the fan store will be open from 10 am to 8 pm.

Oasis fans raise more than €17,000 for family of man who died at show
Following the death of an Oasis fan who fell from one of the upper stands during the band's Wembley Stadium show last weekend, a page has been set up to raise money for his family. The fan has been named as 45-year-old Lee Claydon, a landscape gardener from Bournemouth. He died on Saturday night (2 August), during the fourth of five shows Oasis were holding at the London venue. The GoFundMe page, which was organised by his brother Aaron, was set up to raise money for his partner Amanda and his son Harry in order to 'take one worry off Amanda and family right now as they are going through any family's worst nightmare'. 'Our family has been turned upside down and are struggling to deal with this devastation and unexpected loss,' he wrote on the page. 'Lee was a loving family man who was a role model to his son Harry and was loved so much by all his family. Lee would have done anything for any of us and he was taken from us far too soon and we will miss him so very much.' As of writing, the page has raised more than £15,000 (€17,000). The tragedy took place on Saturday night and reports have suggested that the fan fell from the stadium's upper tier of the 90,000-capacity venue. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the news on Sunday, saying that officers and medics at the stadium and the London Ambulance Service responded to reports that a person had sustained injuries at 10:19pm, towards the end of the band's set. Oasis said in a statement on Sunday: 'We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show. Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.' Fans who were at the show have said that conditions in the stands 'seemed unsafe', sharing concerns with the Guardian over the allegedly 'lax' security and the level of alcohol consumption. The amount of beer being drunk and thrown made the floors slippery, according to those who spoke to the publication. The Metropolitan Police urged anyone who 'may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage' to come forward. Oasis will next play three shows in Edinburgh and two in Dublin before heading across the Atlantic for the North American leg of the Oasis Live '25 tour. They will then head back to the UK for two final Wembley shows in September – with negotiations reportedly underway to bring the reunion tour to Italy.
