Family of dad who plunged to death at Oasis gig pay heartbreaking tribute to ‘lifelong fan' who ‘loved his kids'
THE father of a man who tragically died at an Oasis concert has paid tribute to the "lifelong fan" who "loved him kids". Lee Claydon, 45, is understood to have fallen from the upper tier balcony at the Wembley Stadium concert on Sunday. 3 3 Heartbroken father Clive Claydon, 75, told how his son had been 'super excited' about the gig, for which he bought tickets a year ago. 'He was a lifelong Oasis fan and he was so looking forward to going. Out of all the thousands of people there why's it got to be my son?" He said holding back tears. Speaking at his Bournemouth home, close to where Lee lived his partner and son Harry, Clive said he went to the concert with his brother Aaron and his niece and nephew. He remembered his son as a 'lovely, lovely bloke' who 'no one could say a bad thing about ever." He said: 'He was a hard worker, has been all his life. He loved his kids, he looked after them and his girlfriend. 'He is a real family man; they were supposed to be going on a big family holiday all together in two weeks' time.' 'I don't know how his girlfriend is going to cope; she is really going to struggle without him.' Clive last saw Lee last week and said his son had been talking about the Oasis concert for months. He said: 'I spoke to him at the weekend, and he was talking about it then. I just can't believe it I've had to go to the doctors for tablets today because I am so devastated.' Clive said he had been angered by online comments suggesting Lee may have taken his own life. He said: 'It's disgusting, he did not commit suicide. He had everything to live for. It was nothing to do with drugs, or being drunk either. 'He has never taken drugs in his life and he may have had a beer, who doesn't at a concert, but he certainly was not drunk. 'It was just a pure accident, a horrible accident.' He said the family were now rallying around Lee's partner and children saying: 'We are just doing what we can.

The father of a 'lifelong fan' who fell to his death at the end of an Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium has said the whole family is 'devastated'. Landscape gardener Lee Claydon, 45, of Bournemouth, Dorset, died following the incident at the London event on Saturday, according to his family. Advertisement Speaking at his Bournemouth home, Clive Claydon, 75, told the PA news agency: 'He was a lovely bloke, loved to be with his family – a hard-working family man, he loved his kid, looked after them really well.' He added: 'He had everything going for him. I am so devastated, I have been to the doctor for tablets and everything to get over it.' He said that Lee, who is a father of one and was set to go on holiday with his family soon to Turkey, had gone to the concert with his brother and his brother's children, might have had a 'couple of beers' but had not taken any drugs. Mr Claydon said: 'He doesn't take drugs, he may have had a couple of beers but who hadn't there, people have said horrible things but it was just an accident.' Advertisement Mr Claydon said that he was concerned about the safety measures at Wembley but added his son's brother and family had not seen the accident happen. 'It must have been horrific,' he said. 'All I know is there was beer everywhere, it's slippery, he slipped apparently, we do not know the rest of it, there's questions about the barriers.' He added: 'Of all the thousands of people there, it had to be my son.' Advertisement A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium said: 'Wembley Stadium operates to a very high health and safety standard, fully meeting legal requirements for the safety of spectators and staff, and is certified to and compliant with the ISO 45001 standard. 'We work very closely and collaboratively with all relevant event delivery stakeholders – including event owners, local authorities, the Sports Grounds Safety Authority and the police – to deliver events to high standards of safety, security and service for everyone attending or working in the venue.' The UK Health and Safety Executive has been informed. The Metropolitan Police are asking for anyone who witnessed the incident, or have mobile phone footage, to come forward.

'Our family has been turned upside down and are struggling to deal with this devastation and unexpected loss,' Aaron Claydon wrote on the page. 'Lee was a loving family man who was a role model to his son. '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. Advertisement 'Lee loved all outdoor activities, one of his favourite hobbies was fishing. He also loved music and his guitar. He also really enjoyed going to watch and support the boys and his nephew at their football games.' The fall happened during a run of stadium shows for the band's sell-out Live '25 reunion tour – their first since splitting in 2009. Oasis said in a statement: '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.'

Report: Kohberger could have crept into Idaho house weeks before murders
Bryan Kohberger had may have broken into the victims' home to scope out the layout and where each of the students slept in the lead-up to the slayings. The 30-year-old criminology PhD student had also likely stalked other potential victims around the college town of Moscow , Idaho , before he settled on the chosen target of his murderous rampage on November 12, 2022. These chilling theories were revealed by Latah County Prosecutor Bill Thompson in a new interview with CBS '48 Hours' podcast, days after Kohberger was sentenced to a lifetime behind bars for the murders of Madison Mogen, Kaylee Goncalves, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin . Thompson said Kohberger showed knowledge of the layout of the home at 1122 King Road and who slept in which room on the night of the murders - meaning it is possible it was not his first time inside. 'The layout of the house is unique - it's a little bit confusing,' the prosecutor said. 'Admittedly, if he was parked up behind the house on that bank, which we believe is where he parked, he would be able to see into the house at night and he would be able to see whose rooms were where. 'Whether he was actually in the house at some point before November 13, we don't know for sure. We can't exclude that. In the early hours of November 13, 2022, Kohberger broke into the three-story home in the heart of the college town and stabbed the four victims to death. He entered through the sliding door in the kitchen on the second floor and went straight up to Mogen's room on the third floor. Finding 21-year-old best friends Mogen and Goncalves in Mogen's bed, he stabbed both multiple times. On his way back downstairs or on leaving the house, he encountered 20-year-old Kernodle who had just received a DoorDash order. He attacked and killed her, before fatally stabbing her boyfriend Chapin, 20, who was sleeping in her bed in her room on the second floor. Kohberger then left through the same door he had entered, passing surviving roommate Dylan Mortensen who had opened her bedroom door after hearing concerning noises in the home. In total, Kohberger was inside the home and murdered all four victims in less than 15 minutes. While Thompson said police could not confirm or deny Kohberger had been inside the home prior to that night, there is evidence to prove he 'was certainly stalking that neighborhood' in the run-up to the murders. The prosecutor revealed the slain victims might not have been the killer's only targets. 'Certainly there may have been other potential victims that he was looking at,' Thompson said. Who those potential victims were and what led Kohberger to ultimately pick his chosen targets, only he knows. After more than two years of investigating, no connection has ever been found between the killer and the victims. In a press conference after Kohberger's sentencing on July 23, police said 1122 King Road had been targeted but that it is unclear if Kohberger was specifically targeting one or more of the victims inside. Cell phone data, previously revealed in court documents, shows Kohberger was surveilling the student area in the lead-up to the murders. From July 2022 through to November 13, 2022, his phone placed him in the vicinity of the King Road home at least 23 times, mostly at night. Newly-released Moscow Police records reveal the victims had seen a man lurking in the trees outside their home and noticed a string of bizarre incidents in the weeks before the murders. Around one month earlier, Goncalves had told multiple people including surviving roommates Mortensen and Bethany Funke and her ex-boyfriend Jack DuCoeur she had seen a man watching her in the trees around the home when she took her pet dog Murphy outside. Friends also recalled multiple occasions when, during parties at the home, Goncalves' dog Murphy would run barking into the tree line and wouldn't return when he was called. This was out of character for the dog, they said. On November 4, 2022 - just nine days before the murders - the roommates had come home to find the door to their three-story house open. Funke said that they had grabbed golf clubs and gone room to room, thinking there was an intruder, police records show. Goncalves had also mentioned someone following her around two or three weeks before her murder. Around that same time, a female student living on Queen Road - close to the King Road home - said a man tried to break into her home but the door was locked. Thompson told '48 Hours' that Kohberger was surveilling or stalking the area to get a sense of the neighborhood and the likes of the students' living patterns. But investigators had not been able to verify if those strange occurrences of a man lurking in the trees were connected to Kohberger. 'The cell phone experts were not able to correlate Mr. Kohberger's phone being in the area at the time of those occurrences,' Thompson said. 'But they were able to show that he was in that area of some 20 plus times other times at night, between like 10 and early morning hours, 10 in the evening when there would be no legitimate reason for him to be over here to shop here being Moscow, being in Moscow to shop which was his routine practice. 'So we certainly believe that those trips were – involved Mr. Kohberger looking and surveilling or stalking, whatever the case may be.' Kohberger has offered no answers to these lingering questions. At his sentencing in Ada County Courthouse in Boise, Idaho, on July 23, he refused to reveal any details about the murders or his motive. Kohberger stared blankly at the families, friends and loved ones of his victims as they delivered heartbreaking victim impact statements inside the courtroom - with no flicker of remorse or emotion. When it was his opportunity to speak, he said just three words: 'I respectfully decline.' Thompson told '48 Hours' he 'saw nothing' in Kohberger's eyes when he was confronted by the families he had torn apart. 'I saw nothing in Bryan Kohberger while the impact statements were going on. It's as though his eyes were empty,' he said.
