Man dies after falling at Oasis Wembley Stadium concert, police say


A man has died after falling at Wembley Stadium during an Oasis concert on Saturday night, the Metropolitan Police has said.

The force said officers on duty at the stadium responded, alongside venue medics and the London Ambulance Service, to reports a person had been injured at around 10.20pm.

“A man – aged in his 40s – was found with injuries consistent with a fall. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene,” the statement read.

A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium said: “Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers.”

According to reports, the man fell from the venue’s upper tier.

The police statement continued: “The stadium was busy, and we believe it is likely a number of people witnessed the incident, or may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage.

“If you have any information that could help us to confirm what happened, please call 101.”

A concertgoer on social media said they saw the incident and described it as “horrific”.
