Saturday's gig was the fourth of seven London shows on Oasis' blockbuster reunion tour
Police and paramedics rushed to the gig but he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The highest stands in the 90,000-seat venue are some 170ft above the ground.
One fan, who was sitting in a lower tier, described watching medics try to revive the tragic fan after he hit the concrete.
She wrote: 'I was directly underneath in section 211. At first glance I thought it was a coat falling from the above tier but then I looked and saw the bloke on the concrete. It was horrific to see.'

The Met Police confirmed that officers at Wembley responded to reports that a man had been injured at 10.19pm, where they found the casualty with 'injuries consistent with a fall'.
They urged anyone who witnessed the incident or who may have unknowingly caught it on their mobile phone to get in touch.
The police are expected to inform the Health and Safety Executive which could launch a probe into the death.

The band crashed ticket sites when they announced they were making a comeback last year - as more than 14 million fans tried to secure a seat at the highly-anticipated gigs.
Last month Liam and Noel reunited on stage in Cardiff for the first time since a backstage bust-up broke up the band 16 years ago.
The Britpop icons returned to their hometown of Manchester for five dates in July.
They performed a 23-song setlist of classic hits, including Wonderwall, Don't Look Back in Anger and Live Forever to a roaring crowd of 80,000 people at Heaton Park.

They will head to America later this month before returning to London for two more gigs in September.

'Can you eat it?' -- Liam Neeson discovers Labubus
Liam Neeson reacting to 'Labubus' and 'Lafufus' was not something many people would have predicted earlier this year, but here we are. The Irish actor has been doing the rounds promoting 'The Naked Gun' reboot he stars alongside Pamela Anderson. While appearing on 'INTERROBAIT' for Metro Entertainment, Liam was 'interrogated' on his co-star, the movie itself, his previous films and naturally – Labubus. Labubus took TikTok by storm this year. Pic: Ying Tang/NurPhoto/REX/Shutterstock For those out of the loop, Labubus are collectable furry companions that are likely spotted dangling from keychains and bags. Created by Hong Kong-born artist Kasing Lung, Labubu is just one character in The Monster series, a collection of blind-box toys sold by Chinese toy company PopMart. However, this year TikTok discovered the 'ugly cute' little monsters, and they took off on a global scale. Host Zac Haniff presented the Naked Gun star with an image of a Labubu and asked him if he knew what it was. Liam replied: 'Haven't a clue. Seriously, I don't know.' Zac stated that it was a Labubu, and the actor remained baffled. Liam guessed: 'It's a fluffy doll or can you eat it?' The host explained that the creator of Labubus is now a billionaire due to the worldwide hoarding of the little monsters and that they nearly got banned in the UK due to people fighting over them. Pamela Anderson as Beth and Liam Neeson as Frank in The Naked Gun. Pic: Paramount Pictures When Zac revealed that he owns a pink one, Liam remarked: 'Doesn't surprise me. Never heard of them, no.' The host then revealed another page with a picture of a 'Lafufu'. The 73-year-old actor guessed that it could be 'an early drawing of E.T.' and Zac explained that it is a Labubu without any hair. Liam added: 'And without the genitals.' Social media users have thoroughly enjoyed watching the Taken star attempt to understand what the viral characters are#. One user commented: 'I can't believe you made Liam Neeson look at a lafufu.' Liam Neeson reacts to being shown a Labubu for the first time: 'Okay…it's a fluffy doll or can you eat it?'

I tried the viral ‘53 method' to banish my ‘chins' without going under the knife and the results were astonishing
Writer Sarah Morton, a mum of two, is fed up with her double chin. Can a viral Tiktok hack get rid of it? JAW & ORDER I tried the viral '53 method' to banish my 'chins' without going under the knife and the results were astonishing SITTING in a crowded pub with a group of my journalism colleagues, I could feel my eyes starting to well up. 'Did you hear me?' a booming voice demanded. 'I said, take it on the chins.' Advertisement 6 Before applying the hack - Sarah confesses she is self-conscious over her chin and jowls Credit: Lorna Roach 6 Journalist Sarah Morton, applying the '53' make-up hack that TikTokkers claim will sculpt her jaw - without surgery Credit: Lorna Roach 6 Sarah is impressed - clever contouring gives the illusion of a facelift, making jowls fade and cheekbones pop like a real-life filter Credit: Lorna Roach A sozzled male colleague of mine who I barely knew had made a joke about my biggest insecurity in front of a group of ten people. I instinctively raised my hand to my jaw to cover my jowls. I felt embarrassed and annoyed that tears started to fall, but I couldn't stop them. I'd been ridiculed for the thing I hated most about my appearance. Fast forward several years and I've never forgotten that comment. Advertisement I'm now a 42-year-old mum, with a toddler and a new born and arguably, bigger things to worry about. But, despite many fad diets such as the 'no sugar' diet and the 5:2, personal trainers and expensive gym classes that have seen me slim down to a size 8 at my smallest, those 'chins' have remained - as have my deep insecurities. So, imagine my delight when I heard about the '53' method, a supposedly easy way to get a snatched jawline, using nothing but makeup. It's already gone viral on TikTok, with almost 30m videos uploaded to the site with the hashtag #53method featuring people trying it out and offering tips on how to do it. Advertisement In theory it seems easy enough - in order to 'sculpt' the face, you apply concealer in the shape of a '5' to each cheek, and contour in the shape of a '3' next to it. Blend, pout and enjoy a chiselled jawline. Sounds simple, but full disclosure: I've never, ever contoured before. Hailey Bieber contours her cheekbones with a 'bronzing wand' that is also a self-tanner - get her sculpted glow for $28 Up until about three years ago I didn't even use a brush to apply my foundation, I'd slather it onto my face with my fingers before puffing some loose powder on top and hoping for the best. It was only when Instagram started sneaking makeup tips into my feed that I was finally 'influenced' into buying a brush. Advertisement Clearly my algorithm was trying to tell me something. And now, as I continue to age like a corked wine, social media is at it again. With statistics indicating that 56 per cent of women with a double chin would contemplate surgery, and a whopping 36 per cent of people would avoid being photographed because of it, it seems like as good a time as any to log into TikTok and learn the art of contouring. It's long overdue. For years I'd be terrified of someone snapping a candid photo when I wasn't looking, as I would never look nice unless I was front facing, chin tilted to a perfect angle. Advertisement Frankly, it's exhausting. I thought about a thread lift, an invasive surgical method that would involve using threads to pull back the skin and create a mini face lift, but figured I'd prioritise having kids before I did anything too drastic. I even contemplated Kim Kardashian's recently launched SKIMS 'shapewear for the face' - a mask that retails at £52 and promises you a 'sculpted jawline'. However, I was slightly put off when Dr Rosh, a respected aesthetics practitioner, called the product 'an utter load of rubbish', which would have 'zero benefit.' Advertisement Since having my children, Sophie, three, and Marnie, four months, I've been surviving on Diet Coke and air as I juggle night feeds and toddler classes with my job as a writer. I don't think the fizz has helped my face. It means the spare 'gullet' beneath my pointy chin is hanging lower and seems saggier than ever. 6 Sarah used to be terrified of someone snapping a candid photo when she wasn't looking and couldn't tilt her chin to the perfect angle Credit: Supplied Without ditching my fave drink, how on earth could a simple makeup hack change that? Was the 53 method the answer to my prayers? Or was it really too good to be true? Advertisement The main draw of the method is its simplicity. I've watched various contouring videos and aside from the fact it appears to use up a hell of a lot of product, at no doubt huge expense, the whole operation looks complicated and time consuming. Some videos show the entire process done and dusted in under a minute. Which, as someone who likes to be ready in five, is very appealing. I give it a go using two products: Mac's full coverage foundation and Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette. Top beauty trends for 2025 Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook spoke exclusively to Fabulous about the big beauty trends for 2025. Haircare Hair gloss treatments are a must-have as beauty enthusiasts love the salon-quality shine and enhanced colour delivered by the trending treatment. Hair glosses are multifunctional, as they nourish the hair while offering a vibrant, healthy-looking finish, combining 2025's core trends. This treatment is perfect for those seeking an affordable, at-home glow-up. 2025 will focus on skin repairing and texture-enhancing treatments. Skincare Rejuran treatment, a celebrity-endorsed procedure, will see a rise in demand this year as many seek to enhance their skin's appearance. The procedure entails injecting polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to enhance skin texture and elasticity. 'Rejuvenation is expected to dominate 2025 skincare trends as many seek to achieve a flawless, youthful complexion. Skincare will also include back-to-basic products for a simplified routine. Ginseng cleansing oil and panthenol cream are among the trending products for 2025. The cleansing oil is excellent for dissolving make-up and impurities without clogging pores and is enriched with nourishing properties to leave the skin feeling and looking refreshed and radiant. Make-up Make-up trends will follow suit to achieve youthful and radiant looks. Under-eye brighteners will be sought-after products for delivering coverage while enhancing natural radiance. This beauty tool will complement natural beauty while improving and brightening dull skin. Make-up looks will be bigger and bolder in 2025 with cluster lashes expected to surge this year. These lashes bring the glam to glamorous looks as they deliver dramatic volume to enhance everyday or special occasion looks. Peel-off lip stains circulated the beauty industry in 2024 and are expected to dominate in 2025. The growing popularity of this product is due to its ability to provide long-lasting, transfer-proof colour to lips, enhancing a natural aesthetic. Additionally, cherry-coded aesthetics are expected to be everywhere this year as the deep, rich hue can be achieved using peel-off lip stains or bold lip looks for a dramatic effect. Nails 2025 will be another year of countless, show-stopping nail trends. Goddess Nails and Aura Nails deserve an honourable mention as these designs channel an ethereal, celestial aesthetic for bold, self-expressing nails. I've now watched many 53 videos for research, to try and perfect the technique but on my first try with actual makeup I find it quite difficult. I have to keep practicing the shape with a clean brush and then I have to ensure I use enough product. It turns out you need a fair bit of it to make it work. Luckily, I have makeup artist Lisa Sloneem on hand to help me and with some gentle guidance from her, I'm finally done. My face feels heavy and I worry that in daylight I'm going to look like a clown. I'm not used to wearing so much product. But that's beside the point, I want to see if this really will give me the 'snatched' jawline it promised. Advertisement And the answer is… it really does. There's no doubt that when done right, the 53 method can give you the illusion of a firmer jaw. The trusty jowls are still there, but I must confess they aren't as noticeable. The colour on my cheekbones seems to make my whole face more angular, the contouring has worked as a mini facelift, it makes it look like everything is pulled up towards my eyes. It's incredibly clever. I look like I've been airbrushed. 6 First up, it's Mac's full coverage foundation Credit: MAC Cosmetics 6 And Anastasia Beverly Hills contour palette Credit: Boots Advertisement That said, I'm not sure I'd be inclined to do this daily. Yes, once you get the hang of it it's not that difficult to master. But you use a lot of product and it takes a lot longer than the speedily edited TikTok vids would have you believe. Lisa agrees. 'It's not as straightforward as you'd think, it takes a lot more blending and a lot more time,' she says. 'In terms of the positioning of the 5 and the 3, it's a good hack. The numbers highlight the face in the perfect way to lift the face, so it's great for beginners but you need to take time to blend properly.' I get home to show my partner Jamie, who seems fascinated by the artistry. 'Your face is a different colour,' he muses, helpfully. However, he doesn't mention my chins – or lack of - which was my main aim for trying this. Advertisement As one of three people, along with our daughters, who look at my face the most, he is used to me, and it's clear that the method hasn't made a big enough difference for him to comment. Maybe if there was a big night out or a family photoshoot or something similar, I'd dig out the foundation and contour again. But as a regular solution for the jowls, it's not worth the effort to do daily. I'd better start saving for that thread lift.

Gregg Wallace gushes over ‘beautiful' wife on romantic anniversary picnic as MasterChef makes controversial return
GREGG Wallace called himself a "very lucky man" as he celebrated his ninth wedding anniversary today with "beautiful" wife Anna. The axed MasterChef star, 60, returned to Hever Castle, Kent, with Anne-Marie, 38, for a romantic picnic on the same day the latest series of the BBC cooking show controversially returned to screens featuring both of its fired hosts. 4 Gregg Wallace celebrated his wedding anniversary today with wife Anne-Marie Credit: Instagram 4 They enjoyed a picnic at Hever Castle Credit: Instagram Series 21 was filmed before a report into Wallace's behaviour upheld 45 historical allegations of misconduct over a 17 year period. As part of the investigation Wallace's co-star John Torode was alleged to have used a racist term, though he maintains he did not. Today, Wallace, who is now marketing himself as a personal trainer, was all smiles as he filmed himself and Anna by the side of a lake. He said: "Hello, it's our wedding anniversary. How many years, Anna?" She replied: "Nine." The couple then giggled as they struggled to recall if they'd been together for 12 or 13 years. Wallace continued: "The theme is willow, so we've got a picnic basket and we're at Hever Castle because it's here we got married. "Look at this scene for a picnic. Beautiful setting, beautiful wife. I'm a very lucky man." One follower commented: "Happy faces for a happy anniversary - I bet it was a lovely picnic too." Another said: "Lovely location for a wedding anniversary picnic." Shamed Gregg Wallace says 'I'm no groper, sex pest or flasher,' as tearful star refuses to accept blame for BBC sacking A third posted: "Lovely location for a wedding anniversary picnic." Those who tuned into MasterChef today on BBC iPlayer noticed the show had been edited to minimise the amount of banter between hosts Torode and Wallace. As the six amateur cooks made their first dishes for the pair, viewers noted how their usual breezy interactions were virtually non-existent. Prior to the show airing, contestant Sarah Shafi, from Leeds, revealed how she was allegedly offered the opportunity to be edited out of the series after claiming it shouldn't be broadcast. Ms Shafi, 57, told the Guardian: 'I didn't say edit me out. 'I said: 'Axe the show, don't air the show. I'm asking you not to air the show.' Prominent figures have been abusing their power. "What message does that send out to women?" MasterChef facts MASTERCHEF has been a staple BBC series for years - but what are the key details? MasterChef launched on BBC One back in 1990 It ran until 2001, then was revived in 2005 as MasterChef Goes Large John Torode joined the revamped series in 2005, where he teamed up with Gregg Wallace as hosts Controversial moments? In March 2018, Gregg refused to judge Zaleha Kadir Olpin's stewed chicken rendang dish as he claimed it was 'not crispy enough and could not be eaten.' Ms Sharif alleged there was an "enabling environment" and a pattern of "institutions not being accountable". She also claimed there was a "heated conversation" when she tried to voice her opinions with a producer. Once the corporation confirmed the season was going ahead, Ms Sharif agreed to be edited out. The Sun contacted a representative for MasterChef for comment. 4 MasterChef returned today with Gregg Wallace and John Torode 4 Six new amateur chefs entered the MasterChef kitchen on tonight's episode Credit: BBC THE AXE FALLS Wallace was the first of the two hosts to be sacked back on July 10, with the BBC citing that they doubted his ability to change 'learned behaviour' as a reason for his axing. The report concluded that Gregg, who was diagnosed as autistic midway through the investigation, "struggled to distinguish the boundaries between appropriate and inappropriate behaviour in the workplace.' The findings also referenced reputational damage to the Corporation in light of comments Wallace has made about it since he was taken off air. Wallace has hosted MasterChef alongside Torode since 2005 and has also fronted other BBC programmes including Inside the Factory and Supermarket Secrets. In late 2024, it was reported that the BBC had been made aware of complaints dating back to 2017, while it was claimed that a letter had been sent to the broadcaster in 2022 stating that women had been made to feel 'uncomfortable' in his presence. However, he has been cleared of the most serious allegations, including those made by high profile names including Kirsty Wark and Penny Lancaster. GREGG BACKS CO-STAR In an explosive sit down interview with The Sun, Wallace said that he was not a 'groper, a sex pest or a flasher'. He also backed Torode, insisting: 'He is not a racist.'
