Witnesses recall ‘horrific’ moment they saw man fall to his death at Oasis concert in London

Witnesses have spoken out about seeing the moment a man fell to his death during an Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium. A man in his 40s is confirmed to have died after he fell during the event that took place in London on Saturday.

The concert was part of Oasis’s ongoing reunion tour, which has had sell-out crowds in packed stadiums across the UK. Police attended the event just after 10pm, following reports of an injury. It was later confirmed a man had fallen, and had passed away.

Police said in a statement: “At around 22:19hrs on Saturday, 2 August, officers on duty at Wembley Stadium for the Oasis concert responded alongside venue medics and the London Ambulance Service to reports that a person had been injured. A man – aged in his 40s – was found with injuries consistent with a fall. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.”

Since then, witnesses have described the awful moment they saw the fall, and then realised what had happened. “I was right there,” one person said on an Oasis Facebook fan group. “It was horrific.”

One woman said the man fell into the block she was in, and called what happened “awful”. She added that her friend’s daughter tried to help by performing CPR “until the paramedics arrived”. She wrote: “It happened about [five] mins before the end of the gig, it was awful… thinking of his family and friends and everyone that witnessed it.”

Another said the atmosphere in the venue had been “euphoric” until the “very shocking” fall. They said: “He fell, right in front of us.” A further witness added: “I think we are all in a state of shock at what happened last night.”

According to The Sun, another person there spoke out of the event, and said “it was horrific to see”. They added: “I was directly underneath. At first glance I thought it was a coat falling but then I saw the bloke on the concrete.”

Another person said they were the parent of a teenager at the event who “saw him falling”. They added: “He asked me this morning to check for news about him, and there was nothing all morning so we hoped he was fine – so so sad to read the update this afternoon.”

Oasis said in a statement on Sunday: “We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night. Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.”

The Met Police is still appealing for more witnesses, or anyone with mobile phone footage of the incident to assist the investigation. “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,” its statement continued. “If you have any information that could help us to confirm what happened, please call 101, quoting 7985/02AUG.”
