An Oasis fan in his forties fell to his death on the night on August 2 at one of the band’s Wembley Stadium shows. The Met Police and medics responded to reports of an injured person around 10:30pm. The man was said to have sustained injuries after falling from the upper tier of the stadium and was promptly announced dead at the scene.
Oasis released a statement, sharing: “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.”
Liam and Noel Gallagher began their Oasis Live ’25 reunion tour last month in Cardiff, Wales. Last night’s performance was the fourth of a five-date run at Wembley Stadium. A representative for the venue has confirmed to The Guardian that tonight’s (August 3) concert will go on as planned. Oasis are scheduled to play two more shows at Wembley this September
Police said to BBC that the stadium was busy and that they “believe it is likely a number of people witnessed the incident, or may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage”. The Met has asked anyone who may have information to get in touch via 101. It added that the investigation would be passed to the Health and Safety Executive in the next few days.
Another source told The Telegraph that they thought what they saw was a coat falling, only to realise with horror that it was a person. “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 heart-breaking. He was only young.”
Oasis reunited this year for their Oasis Live ’25 tour after a 16-year split and feud. Wembley Stadium also shared a statement that medics, police and the London Ambulance service had attended to the injured man. “Despite their efforts, the fan very sadly died. Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers,” it said.
The band is set to appear in Edinburgh on 8, 9 and 12 August and will then travel to Ireland, Canada, the US and Mexico before returning to Wembley on 27 and 28 September.
