Oasis fan death witnesses saw 'horrific' moment man fell from height at Wembley
Distressed Oasis fans have recalled the moment a fan fell to their death at the band's concert at Wembley Stadium on Saturday. A man aged in his 40s was pronounced dead at the scene at the stadium on Saturday after being "found with injuries consistent with a fall". "I was right there", recalled one fan according to a comment on an Oasis fan group Facebook. "It was horrific." The parent of one gig-goer said her teenage son "saw him falling" but was too far away to see him land. They added: "He asked me this morning to check for news about him, and there was nothing all morning so we hoped he was fine - so so sad to read the update this afternoon." One woman said the man fell into their block, calling what happened "awful". She said her friend's daughter tried to help by performing CPR "until the paramedics arrived". Another wrote: "It happened about [five] mins before the end of the gig, it was awful... thinking of his family and friends and everyone that witnessed it." One more fellow attendee said the atmosphere around him inside the gig was "euphoric" until the "very shocking" fall, Mirror UK reports. "He fell, right in front of us", he said. Another person said: "I think we are all in a state of shock at what happened last night." Oasis dedicated their song Live Forever to "all the people who can't be here tonight" during their Sunday gig at Wembley. Addressing fans, Liam Gallagher said: "This one's for all the people who can't be here tonight, but who are here if you know what I mean, and aren't they looking lovely. Live Forever."

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.
