He said: "Our family has been turned upside down and are struggling to deal with this devastation and unexpected loss.

"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."
He later added: "Still in shock and cannot believe I am writing this, but sadly over the weekend I lost by best mate the man I looked up to and the man I was lucky enough to call my brother Lee Claydon.
"This is a gonna be a tough long journey and I have set up this gofundme page to help and support his loved ones.
"Please read and share. Until we meet again Rkid."
Also paying tribute to the dad on Facebook, his cousin Shannon Gabrielle said: "Honestly don't even know what words to write right now.
"My cousin Lee tragically passed away this weekend after no doubt having the time of his life at the Oasis concert this weekend, most will have seen snippets in the news I'm sure & as you can imagine it has devastated the whole family and for his closest knit family unit it's the toughest time they are going through ever right now."
Oasis said in a statement that they were "shocked and saddened" by the fan's death.
They added: "Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved."
