Oasis ‘shocked and saddened' after fan falls to his death at Wembley show
Witnesses described the 'horrendous' scenes after the man reportedly fell from a balcony during the band's long-anticipated reunion tour.
Oasis said in a statement: '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.'
The Metropolitan Police have said that the man was aged in his 40s.
Despite the tragic events on Saturday, organisers said the band's performance on Sunday would still go ahead.
In a statement the Metropolitan Police said: 'A man – aged in his 40s – was found with injuries consistent with a fall.
'He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.
'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.
'If you have any information that could help us to confirm what happened, please call 101.'
A witness told the Daily Mail: 'It was horrendous.
'The guy fell from a balcony. Paramedics came rushing over. There was a lot of screaming and shouting.

'It was a big fall. God knows how it happened. It was so tragic. I don't know how on Earth it happened.
'It was heartbreaking. He was only young.'
The fall happened during the latest in a run of stadium shows for the band's sell-out Live '25 reunion tour – their first since splitting in 2009.
A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium said: 'Last night, Wembley Stadium medics, the London Ambulance Service and the police attended to a concert-goer who was found with injuries consistent with a fall.
'Despite their efforts, the fan very sadly died. Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers.
'The police have asked anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them.
'Tonight's Oasis concert will go ahead as planned.'

Oasis drone show lights up Edinburgh sky above Murrayfield as fans flock to reunion gigs
It was a Champagne Superdroner in the sky. The skies above Edinburgh were lit up with an impressive drone show tonight - ahead of Manchester music legends Oasis taking over Murrayfield Stadium. Liam and Noel Gallaghe r are set to play three nights at the venue from tomorrow. And ahead of the performances, drones were used to make the band's famous logo. The drones shone purple over the rugby stadium, in a slick display of the lower case letter bordered stamp, which could be seen across the city. The newly-reunited band played their last show at the stadium in 2009. And sixteen years on they will get back on stage as part of their only Scottish dates in their reunion tour. The shows follow a number of dates in Cardiff, Manchester and London, with one fan tragically dying at Wembley Stadium after following from the top tier of a stand. After their three nights in the Scottish capital, the D'You Know What I Mean? rockers embark on the foreign leg of their world tour, which takes them to America, South Korea, Japan, and Australia.

It comes as the city's council officials were blasted as "snobby" after suggesting Oasis fans descending on the city for the shows are old, raucous and overweight. Scottish Secretary Ian Murray blasted comments aboutt the band's sold-out reunion tour as "classist" and said it was part of a wider issue in Scottish society. He made reference to the fact that drinking alcohol is allowed at rugby matches but not football games. He said: "I think it's snobby. I mean, Murrayfield is a great example. "You can go and see Scotland versus the All Blacks on a Saturday at three o'clock and get as ratted as you want sitting watching the rugby, and people do, they spend most of their time at the bar." 'And I remember my team, Hearts, played Celtic there the following day on the Sunday, when Hampden was out of use for the Commonwealth Games, and there was a complete ban on drinking in the stands for the football fans. "That's just classist and snobbery.' Asked if he wanted to bring back drinking at football stadiums, the Scottish Secretary joked it was either that 'or not have rugby drinking'. In June, Edinburgh council came under fire from Oasis fans, and the band itself, after safety briefings showed officials' concerns about the crowds descending on the city for the group's performance at Murrayfield, which clashes with the Fringe. One note from the documents showed council officials warning that 'middle-aged men take up more room, consider this when working out occupancy'. Another detailed 'concern about crowds of Oasis on weekends as they are already rowdy and the tone of the band'. It added: 'Concerned about the safety of the Fringe and its performers. Many performers are considering not attending for that weekend.' One document suggested there would be 'medium to high intoxication' at the concert, and to expect a 'substantial amount of older fans', but added there had been 'minimal arrests' at recent events involving either of the Gallagher brothers. Responding on social media at the time, Liam Gallagher said: 'To the Edinburgh council I've heard what you said about Oasis fans and quite frankly your attitude f****** stinks I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot.' In a second post, he added: 'I'd love to see a picture of all the people on the Edinburgh council bet there's some real stunning individuals.' City of Edinburgh Council was approached for comments.

Chilling moment burglars take £500k of gold jewellery from home in sacks despite owners being inside during brazen raid
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the hair-raising moment burglars steal a £500,000 jewellery hoard while the owners remain unaware inside. The brazen thieves targeted a Bromley home, in London, at around 5.40pm on December 30 last year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 The thieves threw down large sacks filled with gold jewellery to an accomplice below Credit: MET POLICE 8 CCTV captured the thugs walking across the roof Credit: MET POLICE 8 The owners were inside the property throughout the raid Credit: MET POLICE CCTV revealed the trio broke into the property, on Bickley Road, through a bathroom window. Within 45 minutes the thugs had stolen a £500k haul and made off with their bounty in large bags. More footage showed the yobs walking across the roof, carrying the sacks, and throwing them to someone waiting below. The owners, who were inside the property throughout the raid, were unaware they'd been hit by criminals. The Metropolitan Police have released pictures of the stolen items and urged anyone who recognises them to come forward. Detective Constable Jamie White, of the Met's South Area Command Unit, said: 'While the monetary value of this theft is enormous, the sentimental value is priceless – with many of the pieces being passed down through generations of the family. 'Helpfully, a number of the pieces stolen are unique, so we are hoping that releasing these photographs will jog someone's memory. If you have seen these items anywhere – or know of anyone handling the goods – please do get in touch with the Met via 101, quoting 01/1257889/24. "If you have information and wish to stay anonymous, you can speak to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. "No arrests have been made at this stage."

Meanwhile, cops are still on the hunt for one of the most prolific burglars in the UK - the Night Watcher. The prolific thief is wanted for a series of similar raids dating back to 2006 across Surrey, Sussex, Kent, London and Berkshire. Officers have previously speculated the Night Watcher, who works alone, may be a former soldier using his military training to carry out the raids and avoid detection. Detectives think he stakes out the homes for days and sometimes breaks in before the robbery to check out the layout and discover where safes are. The planning, ruthless efficiency and the fact he uses cable ties on his victims all point to a military background, police say. His victims include former tennis champion Boris Becker and French ex-footballer Nicolas Anelka. He has taken valuable jewellery - including a ring that once belonged to Charles II. Other wealthy targets have included the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, who were attacked in their stately home, Goodwood House, West Sussex, in 2016. A £10,000 Crimestoppers reward has been offered for information that leads to the conviction of the suspect in the Sevenoaks robbery. In March this year police released a recording of what is believed to be the Night Watcher's voice. It was captured when he tied up and beat an elderly pensioner in a £1.8million raid in June last year, it's alleged. Cops are still urgently hunting the violent thug who attacked a 63-year-old on her doorstep in Sevenoaks, Kent. The suspect struck the lone victim with a gun before tying her up like something out of a "horror movie". The fiend fled with 50 pieces of jewellery, including diamond-encrusted earrings, a sapphire pendant and watches. In the hair-raising audio, the violent raider can be heard saying: 'The key…to the garage. "Open it! Open the garage. Open the garage. Open it!' His voice becomes more stressed as he makes the demands before leading her into the house to access more safes. Linguistic experts have said the suspect's accent is of someone from the 'prosperous southern counties'. He then hit her with the gun, splitting her forehead open, before binding her hands and feet with electrical cables. The traumatised victim was found by her husband about an hour after the "mindless and violent" attack. 8 More goldware stolen from the Bromley home Credit: Metropolitan Police
