A Saturday night concert by British rock band Oasis turned tragic when a male spectator fell from the upper tier of Wembley Stadium and died in front of tens of thousands of fans. The incident occurred during the band’s sold-out performance, part of their 41-date Oasis Live 25 world tour—their first in 16 years.
According to the Metropolitan Police, the man, believed to be in his 40s, sustained fatal injuries from the fall and was pronounced dead at the scene. Emergency services, including police and ambulance crews, responded quickly after the fall was reported at approximately 10:20 p.m.
Witnesses and Investigation
Authorities have appealed for witnesses, noting that given the size of the crowd, some concertgoers may have unknowingly recorded the fall on their mobile phones. One audience member described the incident on social media as “horrific.”
A police spokesperson confirmed: “A man – aged approximately 40 – was found with injuries consistent with a fall. Sadly, he was pronounced dead at the scene.”
Oasis Reacts to Fan’s Death
In a statement released shortly after the concert, Oasis said they were “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.” Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher expressed their condolences to the victim’s family and friends.
The band returned to Wembley the following evening to conclude their five-night run. During the show, Liam Gallagher paid tribute to the deceased: “This is for all the people who can’t be here tonight, but who are here—if you know what I mean. Live forever.”
An investigation into the exact circumstances of the fall is ongoing.
