Oasis 'shocked and saddened' after man dies at Wembley Stadium concert

Oasis have said they are "shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan" at their Wembley Stadium concert on Saturday.

Together with their bandmates, Liam and Noel Gallagher have offered their "sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved".

Metropolitan Police said officers on duty at the stadium responded, alongside venue medics and the London Ambulance Service, to reports a person had been injured at around 10.20pm.

The statement continued: "A man - aged in his 40s - was found with injuries consistent with a fall. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene."

According to media reports, the man fell from the stadium's upper tier.

A concertgoer on social media said they saw the incident and described it as "horrific".

Metropolitan Police said: "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."

Oasis performed at the venue as planned on Sunday night, delivering the final concert of a five-night run at Wembley.

Addressing fans at the stadium, singer Liam 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 band then played the track of the same name.

Oasis support act Richard Ashcroft paid tribute on Instagram, writing: "I was shocked to hear of the death of one of the audience last night sending my love to the family and friends."

A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium said: "Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers."

They will then head to Scotland, Ireland, Canada and the United States, before returning to Wembley for two more dates in September.

The reunion tour began at the start of July and marks the Gallagher brothers' first performances together since Oasis split acrimoniously in 2009.
