An Oasis fan last night fell to his death at Wembley Stadium during the Gallagher brothers’ sell out concert.
A man, aged in his 40s, was fatally injured at around 10.19pm, the Met Police said.
One eyewitness told MailOnline they heard screams and shouts after the male had tumbled from the balcony.
They said: ‘It was horrendous. The guy fell from a balcony. Paramedics came rushing over. There was a lot of screaming and shouting.
‘It was a big fall. God knows how it happened. It was so tragic. I don’t know how on earth it happened.
‘It was heartbreaking. He was only young.’
A spokesperson for the force said: ‘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.
‘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, quoting 7985/02AUG.’
