An Oasis fan tragically plunged to his death at the band’s sold-out concert in Wembley Stadium last night as witnesses described the “horrific” scene.
The man, in his 40s, is believed to have been sat in the upper tier of the 90,000 capacity stadium when he fell. Emergency services rushed to the man but he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. The Met Police confirmed officers rushed to reports of an injured person at 10.19pm, towards the end of the band’s reunion gig.
Police added that officers at Wembley found the man with “injuries consistent with a fall” and have urged any witnesses and concertgoers with information about the tragedy to reach out to The Met.
A horrified concertgoer took to Facebook to share their account of the tragic moment, saying: “Did anyone else see the guy drop from the upper tier last night.
“I was in block 511 and a guy next to me slipped on the railing and fell below. Was pretty messed up, I hope he’s okay.”
Another concertgoer, in a lower tier, described seeing emergency crews rush to the spot where the fan hit concrete after the plunge. She wrote: “I was directly underneath in section 211.
“At first glance I thought it was a coat falling from the above tier but then I looked and saw the bloke on the concrete. It was horrific to see.”
