Oasis concert death: Man dies at Wembley show after fall
"We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night," the band said in a statement Aug. 3. "Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved."
Police also asked for people with any additional information about the incident to come forward. "The stadium was busy, and we believe it is likely a number of people witnessed the incident, or may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage," the statement added.
A Wembley Stadium spokesperson said the concert, a part of the British rock band's highly anticipated reunion tour, "went ahead as planned."
"Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers," the statement continued.

Essex singer Alison Moyet escapes from huge wildfire in France
Singer Alison Moyet has said all 'ended well' and she is away from a huge wildfire in France after documenting the blaze on social media. Moyet, 64, is best known for being part of the synth-pop duo Yazoo with former Depeche Mode musician Vince Clarke. She hit global fame with her 1984 double platinium selling solo album Alf. The singer, whose real name is Genevieve Alison-Jane Ballard, was on holiday in Aude when she documented the wildfire blazing through parts of the region. The first posts, which included a photograph of the fire captured from her room, were shared on Wednesday with the singer adding that she was figuring out 'how to leave'. She posted an update on X on Thursday which said: 'All for us ended well. Thank you. Away from the fire now though the smell pervades the air everywhere. 'Desperately sorry for all inhabitants of this region and the havoc this catastrophe has wrought on their beautiful land.' Reports on Wednesday said the wildfires had burned an area larger than Paris and killed one woman. Moyet began her career in a succession of punk bands before forming the group behind the hit songs Don't Go and Only You. After Yazoo disbanded in 1983, Moyet embarked on a solo career and a year later released her debut album Alf, which went to number one in the UK. In 1985 she was named best British female solo artist at the Brit Awards and was made an MBE in 2021 for services to music. The Basildon-born singer has sold more than 23 million records around the world and released her latest studio album Key last year.

Riccardo commented: "It's always great to be part of TRNSMT and to bring a bit of that festival energy back to Ayr.

Prove your Oasis ability at Wonderwall World Championships in Edinburgh and win a wall of beer
Courtesy of Innis & Gunn, you could win a 6ft wall of beer if you win the first ever Wonderwall World Championships. Oasis fans will have the chance to step into the spotlight and belt out one of Britpop's most iconic anthems as the first-ever Wonderwall World Championships lands in Edinburgh. The one-day singing competition will take place tomorrow, Saturday, August 9, at Stockbridge Social, a new outdoor food and drink market in the city, powered by Innis & Gunn. The event is timed perfectly for the afternoon before Oasis take the stage for their second night at Murrayfield. The inaugural event gives gig-goers a chance to warm up their vocals ahead of the Murrayfield concert with a live rendition of Wonderwall. With over 2.4billion streams on Spotify and a permanent spot on karaoke charts worldwide, Wonderwall remains one of the most recognisable tracks in British music. Now, fans will be able to test their vocal chops in front of a live audience, with the chance to win a fittingly boozy prize. Hosted by broadcaster Craig Telfer, known for fronting Scottish football show A View from the Terrace, the competition will be judged by a panel of self-declared Wonderwall experts. The winning performance will be awarded a 'Wonderwall' of Innis & Gunn beer, a six-foot display of the brewery's award-winning Scottish lager. Every brave performer will also receive a pint of Innis & Gunn lager just for getting up and giving it a go. The event is being staged in honour of Oasis' long-awaited return to the capital. The Gallagher brothers are reuniting for three sold-out shows at Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9, and 12, their first performances in Scotland since 2009. Innis & Gunn are encouraging fans to come along and give their best version of the song that has been a staple of pub singalongs, student flats and festival fields since it first hit the charts in 1995. Entry is free and open to anyone on the day. 'Like Oasis, we have never been afraid to do things our own way,' said Dougal Sharp, Founder and Master Brewer at Innis & Gunn. "Wonderwall has cemented itself into British culture and everybody knows it. And after all, as soon as those opening chords ring out, you know it's going to be a good time. 'With the Gallaghers coming to Edinburgh, we thought it was the perfect time to let people have their own moment in the spotlight. Grab a pint, grab the mic and show us your Wonderwall .' The contest will be held at Stockbridge Social, a new venture from Innis & Gunn located at the Edinburgh Academicals sports ground. The market offers an eclectic mix of food and drink, including Cromars, previously voted East Scotland's best fish and chips, steak frites from Flame to Fork, and cult pizza favourites Wanderers Kneaded. Alongside Innis & Gunn's full beer range, drinks on offer will include locally produced Edinburgh Gin and Lost Orchards cider, made from apples grown in Scottish orchards that are being brought back to life. Stockbridge Social adds to Innis & Gunn's growing presence in the capital, joining their existing location on the Mound. The Wonderwall World Championships kicks off from 1pm on Saturday, August 9, with free entry for all Oasis fans and brave karaoke hopefuls alike.
