Man dies after falling at Oasis gig in London
A man in his 40s has died after falling at an Oasis concert at London's Wembley Stadium, the police said Sunday. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, who brought the iconic Britpop band back together for a blockbuster world tour this year, told the BBC they were 'shocked and saddened' by the fan's death at the Saturday evening gig. According to a spokesperson for the London Metropolitan Police, officers and medics were called to the scene after 22:00 (2100 GMT) following 'reports that a person had been injured' at the packed stadium. 'A man aged in his 40s was found with injuries consistent with a fall. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene,' the spokesperson said, urging any witnesses to come forward. 'Our thoughts go out to his family,' a spokesperson for Wembley said, while adding that 'tonight's Oasis concert will go ahead as planned'. Sunday's gig was Oasis' last London date of the band's 41-gig reunion world tour after 16 years of estrangement between the famously volatile Gallaghers. The tour has sold around 900 000 tickets. Next, the group will head to Edinburgh before its international leg, which will take them to the United States, Japan, Australia, and Brazil.

Pembrokeshire man stole alcohol and soft drinks from The Food Warehouse
A MAN admitted sending a death threat and stealing alcohol and soft drinks from The Food Warehouse. Mark Hambrook, 40, of Milton Crescent in Milford Haven, appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates' Court charged with three offences. Hambrook was accused of sending a communication threatening death, after he was alleged to have issued a death threat in Milford Haven on July 12. That same day, he was accused of stealing alcohol and soft drinks worth a total of £55.30 from The Food Warehouse in Milford Haven. The defendant was further charged with a racially aggravated offence against a police officer at Haverfordwest Police Station the following day, with the intent of causing the officer harassment, alarm or distress. He admitted all three offences on July 14. Hambrook was sentenced to a two-year community order on July 29 at Haverfordwest Magistrates' Court. This was uplifted due to one of the offences being racially aggravated. The defendant must complete a 120-day alcohol abstinence and monitoring requirement and 30 rehabilitation activity requirement days. He must also pay £85 in costs and £55.30 in compensation to The Food Warehouse.
