A man in his 40s has died after falling at an Oasis concert at London’s Wembley stadium, the police said Sunday.
Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, who brought the iconic Britpop band back together for a blockbuster world tour this year, told the BBC they were “shocked and saddened” bythe fan’s death at the Saturday evening (local time) gig.
According to a spokesperson for the London Metropolitan Police, officers and medics were called after 10pm after “reports that a person had been injured” at the packed stadium.
“A man – aged in his 40s – was found with injuries consistent with a fall. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene,” the spokesperson said, urging any witnesses to come forward.
“Our thoughts go out to his family,” a spokesperson for Wembley said. The concert went ahead.
Sunday’s gig will be Oasis’ last London date of the band’s 41-date reunion world tour after 16 years of estrangement between the famously volatile Gallaghers.
The tour has sold around 900,000 tickets, with the group heading to Edinburgh next before its international leg takes them to the United States, Japan, Australia and Brazil.
