A concertgoer in his 40s died after plummeting from an elevated section during Oasis’s performance at London’s Wembley Stadium on Saturday night. Authorities confirmed emergency responders rushed to the scene but were unable to save the man, who sustained fatal injuries in the fall.
Police have appealed to witnesses, noting that the packed venue likely meant multiple attendees may have seen the incident or captured it on their phones. Investigators urged anyone with relevant footage or information to come forward.
The legendary Britpop band expressed deep sorrow over the tragedy, offering condolences to the victim’s loved ones. The show was part of their highly anticipated reunion tour, which launched earlier this summer after a nearly 16-year hiatus.
Wembley Stadium officials confirmed medical teams and law enforcement responded immediately but were unable to prevent the tragic outcome. The man’s family has been notified and is receiving support.
The incident cast a somber shadow over the sold-out event, one of seven scheduled at the 90,000-capacity venue. Oasis is set to continue their tour with upcoming stops in Edinburgh, North America, and Mexico before returning to Wembley later this year.
No further details about the circumstances of the fall have been released as investigations continue.
