Oasis has released a statement following the tragic death of a fan who fell from the upper level during their Saturday night concert at Wembley Stadium. The incident occurred while the band was performing to a sold-out crowd in London, casting a shadow over what was meant to be a celebratory return for the reunited brothers.
According to Page Six, the man, described as being in his 40s, was pronounced dead at the scene after falling from a significant height. Metropolitan Police and medical personnel responded to the emergency at approximately 10:19 p.m. local time, but despite their efforts, they were unable to save the fan’s life.
“We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night,” band members Liam and Noel Gallagher said in their official statement. The brothers, known for their often turbulent relationship, came together to express their grief over the incident that marred their highly anticipated performance.
Police believe witnesses may have captured the incident on video
Metropolitan Police have indicated that they believe multiple people may have witnessed the fatal fall, with some potentially capturing it on their mobile phones without realizing it. A police spokesperson confirmed that the man was found with injuries consistent with a fall from height and was declared dead at the scene.
The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident is ongoing. Police have not released details about whether the fall was accidental or if other factors were involved. Officers have also stated that specially trained personnel are supporting the victim’s family during this difficult time.
Wembley Stadium also issued a statement acknowledging the tragedy. Stadium representatives confirmed that medical staff, police, and London Ambulance Service personnel all attended to the man, but their efforts were unsuccessful. The venue expressed sympathy for the victim’s family and confirmed they had been informed of the death.
Despite the tragic circumstances, ‘Oasis’ proceeded with their Sunday night concert at Wembley Stadium as scheduled. The decision to continue with the performance likely came after consultation with authorities and venue management. The band has not publicly commented on whether they considered canceling the show.
The incident has raised questions about safety measures at large venues during high-energy concerts. Wembley Stadium, one of the world’s most prestigious venues, typically maintains strict safety protocols for events of this magnitude. The stadium has not commented on any potential safety reviews following the incident.
‘Oasis’ is scheduled to continue their tour with three upcoming shows in Edinburgh on August 8, 9, and 12. The band has not indicated whether these dates will be affected by the tragedy. The reunion tour has been highly anticipated by fans worldwide, marking the end of a long-standing feud between the Gallagher brothers that had kept the band apart for years
