From Thin Lizzy to Fontaines DC: the artists behind music's iconic logos
If you found yourself stargazing in Cardiff, Manchester or London in recent weeks, you may have spotted something unusual. An imminent invasion of aliens who were fans of a certain Britpop band? No – just a clever marketing tactic as an impressive drone display mapped out Oasis' instantly recognisable logo ahead of their gigs in each city. Dubliners will undoubtedly be treated to the same spectacle later this month.

Liam & Noel Gallagher reveal their shock in emotional statement after fan plunged to his death during Wembley gig
OASIS have paid a touching tribute to a fan who tragically plunged to their death at the band's gig. Liam and Noel spoke of their "shock" following the tragic fall, which occurred during the Gallagher brothers' sell-out performance at Wembley last night. 4 The highest stands in the 90,000-seat venue are some 170ft above the ground Credit: Instagram 4 Liam and Noel spoke of their 'shock' after the tragic fall Credit: Social media - Refer to source 4 The man was pronounced dead at the scene The man - aged in his 40s - was understood to be sitting in the upper tier of the stadium. The highest stands in the 90,000-seat venue are some 170ft above the ground. Police and paramedics rushed to the gig but he was pronounced dead at the scene. The brothers said they were "shocked and saddened" to hear about the fan's death. In a statement released today, they said: '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.' 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. A Wembley Stadium spokesperson 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." Saturday's gig was the fourth of seven London shows on Oasis' blockbuster reunion tour. 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.

Man dies after 'falling from upper tier' at Oasis' Wembley Stadium concert
A man has died after falling from an upper tier of Wembley Stadium during an Oasis concert on Saturday night, police have confirmed. The man, who was aged in his 40s, is believed to have been sat in the upper tier of the 90,000-capacity London stadium when the tragic incident occurred shortly after 10pm. The Metropolitan Police said officers on duty at the stadium responded, alongside venue medics and the London Ambulance Service, at around 10.20pm but the man was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. A Met spokesperson said in a statement: "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." Another fan watched as the horror unfolded, with emergency services trying to revive the man after he hit the ground. They said: "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." It's expected that the police will inform the Health and Safety Executive which could see a probe into the death launched. Saturday's concert was another sold-out show for Oasis and their fourth at Wembley Stadium. The Britpop icons kick-started their Live '25 Tour in Cardiff in July before heading home to Manchester for five nights. Oasis are then due to perform two sold-out shows at Dublin's Croke Park on August 16 and 17. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest news from the Irish Mirror direct to your inbox: Sign up here.
