Oasis concert death witnesses saw horror moment fan plunged at Wembley
Horrified Oasis fans have recalled the moment they saw a man fall to his death while attending the band's concert at Wembley on Saturday.
The man in his 40s was tragically pronounced dead at the scene following the incident on August 2, after he was "found with injuries consistent with a fall".
Several people witnessed the fall, and have since shared their shocked reactions, the Mirror reports.
One fan commented on an Oasis Facebook group: "I was right there. It was horrific".
The parent of a teenager who also attended said their son "saw him falling" but was too far away to see him land. They added: "He asked me this morning to check for news about him, and there was nothing all morning so we hoped he was fine - so so sad to read the update this afternoon."
A woman said the man fell into the block where they were seated, calling the incident "awful". She said her friend's daughter attempted CPR"until the paramedics arrived".
Claire Collier said: "It happened about [five] mins before the end of the gig, it was awful... thinking of his family and friends and everyone that witnessed it."
Vincent Muylle described the atmosphere inside the stadium prior to the "very shocking" fall as "euphoric". He added: "He fell, right in front of us."
During their gig on Sunday, Oasis dedicated their song Live Forever to "all the people who can't be here tonight". Liam Gallagher announced to the crowd: '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 said they were "shocked and saddened" following the tragedy. A statement read: '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.'

Russell Grant's horoscopes as conversations to give Libra food for thought
Today's horoscope forAugust 12 sees one star sign in the spotlight today, while another is told to be cautious of allowing envy to show Today's daily horoscopes for each star sign can be found below. These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant who has been reading star signs for more than 50 years. Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20) Accidents could happen due to your own or someone else's careless behaviour. That's why you should think before you speak or make a move and encourage others to do the same. A friend or colleague will come up with an innovative idea related to entertainment, hospitality or youth work. Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21) Recent events have caused you some concern. Someone you work with is pushing themselves to the forefront of all that is going on in order to be the one who is given the best assignments. A senior colleague will be available for a conversation but be cautious of allowing envy to show. Gemini (May 22 - June 21) Before going any further with plans, money needs to be discussed. You may need to agree on a new family budget or look at financial arrangements in the workplace. Being organised will give you peace of mind. Your communication skills are excellent. Cancer (June 22 - July 23) Your motivation is at an all-time high, making this a good day to launch new projects. The key is to plan meticulously and not miss any details. With your incredible willpower and determination, this should not be difficult. You intend to make a good job of anything you take on. Leo (July 24 - Aug 23) Something is making you uneasy but you aren't ready yet to discuss your worries with anyone else. You would rather watch from the background to find out whether or not you are right to feel concerned. You're hoping you have got it wrong. Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23) Avoid speaking to others in ways that could lead to misunderstandings or conflict. Careless words can cause some upset or provoke anger. Think about listening to a reliable friend's advice. Their perspective may differ from yours, but it is likely to be valuable. Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23) Conversations both online and in person will give you food for thought. You will certainly want to put some research into something you hear if only to discover whether or not it is true. Keep an eye on any youngsters around you as a hyperactive child will be more accident prone than usual. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22) Disagreements in the work place could have something to do with someone's strong opinions on cost-cutting. You can understand the need to make some changes but not if this will affect the quality of services offered. It's not easy to convince others to see things your way. Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21) You hadn't planned on getting involved in a team effort. You have things of your own to do. Even so, if you do help someone, they will reciprocate. Which means that the more you contribute, the more you will receive in return. All in all, you will be happy with the results. Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20) You're happy to go along with other people's ideas when these sound practical, sensible and do-able. What you might disagree about are the plans a partner is considering about managing shared property or resources. You get a feeling someone outside the family is delving into personal issues. Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19) You're in the spotlight today, impressing your superiors and those in charge. In fact, your charm might even spark some flirtation with a boss. Today is an excellent opportunity to make a start on something significant, but remember to do your research and plan meticulously. Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20) Your enthusiasm for a creative project has reached new heights. You're ready to take this venture further but don't be in a rush. The key is to plan meticulously and leave no detail unchecked. With you being so determined to get it right, it is unlikely any mistakes will be made.

Oasis mega fan gets golden ticket from man who travelled from Malaysia
Dave Glynn feared that his golden ticket to see the iconic Manchester rockers was 'too good to be true', after he was promised tickets online by a complete stranger 'Half the World Away.' An Oasis mega fan has told of the incredible moment he secured an Oasis ticket outside Murrayfield - from a man who travelled all the way from Malaysia. Dave Glynn feared that his golden ticket to see the iconic Manchester rockers was 'too good to be true', after he was promised tickets online by a complete stranger 'Half the World Away.' The 33-year-old from Prestonpans took a chance on Ifran Sidek, who said he was making the trip from South East Asia to Scotland to see his heroes at their second sold-out show on Saturday. Ifran told Dave he had a spare ticket on a Facebook resale page just weeks before the reunited Supersonic legends hit the capital. But despite being warned by family he was walking into a scam. Dave tried his luck and made the short journey to the city. He told the Record: 'It started two weeks ago I was desperate for a ticket 'I was on one of the ticket resale pages on Facebook. I was looking for a ticket to one of the Edinburgh shows. 'This guy Ifran messaged me. He said he had one spare ticket. He was travelling over from Malaysia and his wife couldn't make the gig. 'As soon as he told me that I was a bit sceptical. 'He never asked me for money at all. He said pay me when I'm at Murrayfield so that was really reassuring. 'He kept in touch with me. He messaged me on Thursday night saying he had arrived in London and was looking forward to the gig. 'When it came to Saturday morning. I still thought I'm not even going to make this journey. It all sounded far too good to be true. 'But I hadn't spent any money on the ticket. I thought 'I've got nothing to lose here'.' Dave had arranged to meet Ifran outside Waverley Station but admits doubts started to creep in when Ifran changed the rendezvous to Murrayfield. He said: 'I started to think this guy is giving me the run around. But I still walked from Waverly all the way to Murrayfield. 'I got to Murrayfield. I went to the place I was supposed to meet him. I couldn't see him. The place was packed. 'Then I just turned around and I saw him standing against the wall. 'He recognised me and just said 'David?,' I just stood shocked and said 'Ifran?' It was brilliant. 'He transferred me the ticket there and then. I gave him £150 for it. 'The two of us walked in together. I was absolutely delighted. 'The universal thank you in Scotland is do you want a pint mate? So we shared a pint together.' Dave sat with Ifran during Richard Ashcroft but feeling lucky he managed to sneak himself into the standing section just right before Oasis took to the stage.

Dave, who works as a scaffolder, added: 'I'm 33 years old and that was my first ever gig. 'As far as gigs go I don't think I'm ever going to top this one. I may as well just retire now ' I stood beside random strangers and sang my heart out the whole night. 'I've got Ifran to thank for that. I want to thank him for being true to himself. 'I hope he has a safe journey home and I wish him all the best.' Dave documented the incredible story on TikTok to prove his doubters wrong. He said: 'No one believed it was going to happen. 'Everyone was so sceptical, they said I was going to get scammed and that I was being stupid. 'I thought I'm going to document this whole story and if I pull it off it's going to be one to share.'

Oasis 'flooded with huge offers for 2026 shows including Knebworth' amid reunion success
Liam and Noel Gallagher could carry on their huge Oasis reunion tour into next year as offers have reportedly been put to the band as the decision is all in their hands Oasis are said to have been inundaded with offers for shows for next year following their mega reunion this year. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher put their decades long feud aside as they reunited the iconic band for a string of shows. They kicked off in Cardiff last month before heading to Manchester, London and Edinburgh. The Britpop stars are set to carry on to Dublin before moving over to the US, Asia, Australasia and South America. Rumours have already been circulating that Oasis could carry on into 2026. It comes after Paul Weller revealed the unusual reason he refuses to watch Oasis concerts. Fans are hoping Oasis will head to Knebworth House next year as they mark the 30th anniversary of their two historic shows there. It would mean they would tip rival Robbie Williams off the post as the artist to have played the most shows at the Hertfordshire venue. According to the Sun, Oasis has been offered four dates at Knebworth along with a possible residency at their beloved Manchester City's Etihad Stadium. Fake posters of a 2026 tour have already appeared online as fans hold out hope for a chance to see the brothers back in action. However, it all boils down to whether Liam and Noel are really up for carrying it on. 'They'll be having a well-earned holiday as soon as this tour finishes later this year,' a source told the publication. 'As for 2026, they've seen the speculation, they've heard about the offers and they know what the fans want. But it's ultimately up for them to decide." Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now! A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time. This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show! They added that it is up for Liam and Noel to weigh up if they want to "draw a line in the sand" or "keep the magic going". Yet, it is a "difficult decision". Festivals have also been holding out hope to bag Oasis at their events as they added both Coachella and Benicassim have sent offers to the band. The current tour was announced last year, almost 15 years to the date of their split, and a move that fans never believed would happen due to the tensions between Liam and Noel. Ever since Noel walked away, the two siblings have hurled insults at one another across social media and in interviews. But now, those days are firmly in the past with the two brothers walking out on stage each night holding hands, as though there had never been any bad blood. Get Oasis updates straight to your WhatsApp!

Oasis' manager, Alec McKinlay, previously said that the current dates are the only ones that the band will be performing. He said in May: "This is very much the last time around, as Noel's made clear in the press. "It's a chance for fans who haven't seen the band to see them, or at least for some of them to. No, there's no plans for any new music." But Liam later hit out at the comments, saying that they came from "the accountant". Replying to a fan on X, he fumed: "Neither do I and the only people that will be making any kind of decisions on the future of OASIS will be ME n RKID [Noel] so let's just take it one day at a time."
