Oasis pay tribute to fan who died after tragic fall from top tier at Wembley Stadium

Oasis have paid tribute to a fan who tragically plunged to his death at the band's sold-out concert in Wembley Stadium on Saturday night as witnesses described the "horrific" scene.

The man, in his 40s, is believed to have been sat in the upper tier of the 90,000 capacity stadium when he fell. Emergency services rushed to the man but he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

Following the tragic event, Oasis have released a statement and pay condolences to the Oasis fan. In heartbreaking words, brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher said they were "shocked and saddened" to hear of the death of a fan.

They added: "Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved."

The Met Police confirmed officers rushed to reports of an injured person at 10.19pm, towards the end of the band's reunion gig.

Police added that officers at Wembley found the man with "injuries consistent with a fall" and have urged any witnesses and concertgoers with information about the tragedy to reach out to The Met.

A Wembley Stadium spokesperson said: "Last night, Wembley Stadium medics, the London Ambulance Service and the police attended to a concert goer who was found with injuries consistent with a fall.

"Despite their efforts, the fan very sadly died. Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers.

"The Police have asked anyone who witnessed the incident to contact them. Tonight’s Oasis concert will go ahead as planned."

A horrified concertgoer took to Facebook to share their account of the tragic moment, saying: "Did anyone else see the guy drop from the upper tier last night.

"I was in block 511 and a guy next to me slipped on the railing and fell below. Was pretty messed up, I hope he's okay."

Another concertgoer, in a lower tier, described seeing emergency crews rush to the spot where the fan hit concrete after the plunge. She wrote: "I was directly underneath in section 211.

"At first glance I thought it was a coat falling from the above tier but then I looked and saw the bloke on the concrete. It was horrific to see."

It comes after Noel, 58, Noel struggled to hold back his temper after fans at one of Oasis' London gigs started to boo him when he asked the crowd if there was anyone from Manchester.

With his acoustic guitar around his shoulders, Noel stood before a sprawling crowd but only had eyes for a few particular people who had upset him.

Wearing a black t-shirt and a pair of denim jeans, Noel asked the crowd: "Any Mancunians we got in the house?" And in response, a roar of cheers erupted from the audience - apart from a few people towards the front of the stage.

Hearing the boos, Noel hit back at the culprits in the packed audience.

Staring directly at the fans, the singer, 58, said: "What you f****g booing for? You're only here because of Mancunians. You're only here because of Manchester aren't you? You want to be us? What you booing for?"

Seconds later, he strummed his guitar and turned his back to the audience after dedicating his next song to "all Mancunians".
