A fan died after falling from the stands during an Oasis at Wembley Stadium last Saturday night, the 2nd. The man was sitting in the upper stands of the stadium, which has a capacity of 90,000 people.
According to NME , the Metropolitan Police confirmed that "police officers and paramedics arrived at 10:19 pm to respond to reports that a person had suffered injuries at the end of the band's show."
The police announced in a statement:
“A man, approximately 40 years old, was found with injuries consistent with a fall. Unfortunately, he was pronounced dead at the scene. The stadium was crowded, and we believe several people likely witnessed the incident or, consciously or unconsciously, recorded it on video with their cell phones.” Police also asked that anyone with information about the incident come forward.
In a statement to Sky News , brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher said the day after the tragedy that the band was "shocked" by the news of the death.

A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium added: “Our thoughts are with his family, who have been informed and are receiving support from specially trained police officers.”
