Oasis ‘shocked' after man fatally falls from upper level at Wembley Stadium concert
Oasis has spoken out after a man fatally fell from the upper tier at Wembley Stadium during their sold-out show. 'We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night,' band members Liam and Noel Gallagher said in a statement obtained by Page Six. 'Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.' Representatives for Wembley Stadium and Metropolitan Police did not immediately respond to Page Six's requests for comment. The tragic incident took place on Saturday night local time as the 'Wonderwall' hitmakers played to a sold-out crowd in London. Police and medics showed up at the arena around 10.19pm local time in response to reports of a man in his 40s being injured after falling from a significant height, per BBC. According to a spokesperson for the police department, the man was pronounced dead at the scene after he 'was found with injuries consistent with a fall'. Police also said they 'believe it is likely a number of people witnessed the incident, or may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage'. Wembley Stadium also responded to the incident in a statement, saying that medics, police and the London Ambulance service attended to the man. 'Despite (medics) efforts, the fan very sadly died,' it said in the statement obtained by BBC. 'Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers.' The band's Sunday concert went ahead as planned.

Bonnie Blue spotted after backlash to ‘grubby' Channel 4 documentary
A controversial adult content creator has been spotted hugging a plush toy while at an airport just days after her documentary aired. Bonnie Blue touched down in Ibiza on Friday — just two days after the premiere of her documentary 1000 Men and Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, which aired on Britain's Channel 4 on Wednesday. The 26-year-old looked relatively low-key in comparison to her typically sultry look that she has been known to sport. Blue wore a cream coloured tracksuit set with her hoodie pulled up over her head. It was paired with a white T-shirt, with the slogan being half hidden. She cuddled an oversized polar bear plushie and her blonde hair was loose around her face. Blue being spotted at the airport comes after the premiere of her extremely divisive doco, which detailed her mission to sleep with 1057 men in one 12-hour session. Viewers branded the new film as 'grubby' and 'sickening', featuring explicit scenes some deemed too raunchy for TV. 'Channel 4 has sunk a new low. Why is there a documentary on Bonnie Blue? Why are they trying to normalise her behaviour on national television?' one asked on X. 'This #bonnieblue documentary is absolutely depressing … I feel like I'm losing my mind watching this,' mused another. As one raged: 'Channel 4 you are truly disgusting for airing a documentary about Bonnie blue in any way shape or form. Genuinely disappointing how that woman is allowed a platform of any sort.' Another labelled it 'literal porn'. The film also featured multiple scenes of Blue – whose real name is Tia Billinger – and various men engaging in graphic sexual acts. She's also shown completely nude at times, as well as being pictured shooting adult videos with other porn stars. As a result, many labelled the film 'disturbing' and 'degrading', arguing it should never have been shown on TV. Businesses such as Visa, Cawston Press and Smirnoff have also demanded Channel 4 pull its advertising from the program as it 'doesn't fit' with their values, The Sun reported. Channel 4 defended its decision to air the doco. 'The explicit content in the documentary is editorially justified and provides essential context; making pornographic content is Bonnie's job, and this film is about her work and the response to it,' the broadcaster said, according to LADbible. 'Crucially, the content is presented in a non-gratuitous manner and viewers will be alerted of the sexual content in a program warning at the start to ensure they understand from the outset the nature of the program. 'The program was broadcast after watershed and is compliant with the Ofcom broadcasting code.' However, despite the backlash to both the documentary and the stunt it was about, Blue is still very keen to continue her television career. At the launch of the documentary, Blue claimed she wanted to do a sex education series, The Sun reported. 'Everyone wants different things, everyone has different requirements,' she said. 'I know from sleeping with thousands of people everyone wants it differently, so they [men] know not to assume that every woman wants it the same way. If they're going too fast or if they're being too rough, speak up. 'You've got a voice. Tell them you don't want it like that, tell them how you want it.' It's not surprising, given Blue's stunts have seen her kicked off the OnlyFans platform. It wasn't the sleeping with 1057 men in 12 hours, or her endeavour to take school leaver's virginities that did it — it was her announcement that she would host a 'petting zoo', where she was set to be tied up in a glass box 'like a zoo animal' for anyone of legal age to join her.

Why Prince William, Prince Harry won't inherit Princess Diana's childhood home
Prince William and Prince Harry will not be inheriting their late mother Princess Diana's childhood home. While the Princess of Wales left behind many possessions when she died in 1997, her Althorp property in Northamptonshire, was not one of them. The sprawling estate, which served as the backdrop for much of Diana's childhood, has belonged to the Spencer family since 1508, the New York Post reports. The late royal's father settled there in 1975 after becoming Earl Spencer. To date, the lavish home belongs to the current Earl Spencer, Diana's brother Charles. And once he dies, his son Louis, Viscount Althorp, will inherit the estate — meaning the ownership of the property will not reach the Prince of Wales, 43, or Duke of Sussex, 40. The Spencer dynamic was thrown for a loop with the property, as Louis will be the next owner despite the fact that he has three older sisters. According to a years-long tradition of the Spencer family observing primogeniture, Lady Kitty, Lady Eliza, and Lady Amelia will not be inheriting the estate. Speaking in 2015 about the unwritten rule, Charles said that while he's 'totally relaxed' about Kitty inheriting the estate, he did note that 'it would be against all tradition.' 'It's just the way it is,' he told the Daily Mail at the time. 'I get the problems with it as a concept. I also get the strengths of it, having worked to date.' Later that year, Kitty said that while she's 'totally pro-gender equality,' she's 'quite happy' with the property becoming her younger brother's 'responsibility.' 'I just think it's the correct way,' she told Tatler. 'I like that the house stays within the same family, with the same surname. 'I wouldn't want it any other way for the Spencers. And I just know my brother is going to do an impeccable job.' The estate holds a significant meaning for the Spencer family, as it's also Diana's final resting place. The late princess is buried on a small island in the middle of its Oval Lake — which is not accessible to the public. Speaking about the chosen location, the beloved royal's brother previously said that the lake acts 'as a buffer against the interventions of the insane and ghoulish, the thick mud presenting a further line of defence.' The secluded location also means that William and Harry are able to visit their late mother's resting place without the fear of being seen. 'It is, luckily, very tranquil here, and [William and Harry] can come and go as they wish whenever they want. And that's very lovely for me to know that,' he added. In his 2023 memoir, 'Spare,' Harry opened up about visiting Diana's memorial with his wife, Meghan Markle. The Sussexes ventured out to Althorp to pay their respects to the late royal on the 25th anniversary of her death in August 2022. The Invictus Games founder said the duo took a boat across the lake and 'gazed around at Althorp's rolling fields and ancient trees, the thousands of green acres where my mother grew up, and where, though things weren't perfect, she'd known some peace.' 'At long last, I was bringing the girl of my dreams home to meet mum,' he added.
