One woman is said to have attempted CPR on the man before emergency services arrived, but he was later pronounced dead.
Horrified Oasis fans have recalled the moment they saw a man fall to his death while attending the band's concert at Wembley on Saturday.
The man in his 40s was tragically pronounced dead at the scene following the incident on August 2, after he was "found with injuries consistent with a fall".
Several people witnessed the fall, and have since shared their shocked reactions, the Mirror reports.
One fan commented on an Oasis Facebook group: "I was right there. It was horrific".
The parent of a teenager who also attended said their 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."
A woman said the man fell into the block where they were seated, calling the incident "awful". She said her friend's daughter attempted CPR"until the paramedics arrived".
Claire Collier said: "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."
Vincent Muylle described the atmosphere inside the stadium prior to the "very shocking" fall as "euphoric". He added: "He fell, right in front of us."
During their gig on Sunday, Oasis dedicated their song Live Forever to "all the people who can't be here tonight". Liam Gallagher announced to the crowd: '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 band said they were "shocked and saddened" following the tragedy. A statement read: '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.'
