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.'

'Deeply loved' father shot dead in Stoke Newington named
A "deeply loved" father who was shot dead in north London has been named by police. Erdal Ozmen, 45, was found with gunshot injuries by Metropolitan Police officers who were called to Dynevor Road in Stoke Newington, a little after midnight on Tuesday and was pronounced dead at the scene. Mr Ozmen, was "a father-of-one and was deeply loved by his family", Detective Chief Inspector Dave Whellams, who is leading the murder investigation, said. Appealing to the public, he added: "Were you in the Dynevor Road area late on Monday night into early Tuesday morning? Did you see anyone acting out of the ordinary? "Did you hear anything at all which perhaps seemed unusual - maybe people shouting, or a loud vehicle?" A post-mortem examination has not yet been carried out and Mr Ozmen's family are being supported by specialist officers. The motive for the murder remains unclear, officers said. No arrests have been made. Residents said they woke to the sounds of gunshots. Liza Dodds, 58, a youth worker who lives opposite Dynevor Road, said: "My husband woke up and said there was gunshots. The instant reaction was 'how do you know?' "We both got up and had a look. A police officer was doing CPR where the person fell. It seemed like they were going forever." Another resident said: "I heard a few gunshots and the first thing I thought was that it was fireworks, because you don't expect it to be a gun. "I was trying to sleep but then later I heard sirens from the police cars." One resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said: "We were out when it happened so we didn't hear or see anything. "But when we came back at around 1am, the whole area was cordoned off and the police officers told us that it will be a crime scene for a couple of days."
