"We are shocked and saddened by the tragic death of a fan at last night's concert," the band shared in a statement sent to British media. Saturday's concert was the fourth of five that the Manchester band performed at the largest stadium in the United Kingdom, with a capacity of 90,000 people. The stands are divided into three levels, and the highest, and from where the man allegedly fell, is located 50 meters above the ground. According to reports, the fall occurred towards the end of the show, which began at 8:30 p.m. and lasted approximately two hours.
A dangerous and slippery floor
Some concertgoers shared the news on Reddit after hearing that the upper tier was slippery because the floor was wet from spilled drinks. Other attendees claimed that both the middle and upper tiers were also treacherous and that the man could have fallen as the audience was beginning to leave the stadium. At Oasis' concert on Sunday, the day after the incident, the band dedicated the song Live forever to "all those who are not here." According to the New York TimesThe death of the Oasis concertgoer is the first fatal accident to occur at Wembley Stadium. In 2022, at a Harry Styles concert at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow, a fan fell from the upper tier but did not suffer any serious injuries.
The Oasis Live '25 tour, The tour, which reunited the band after a sixteen-year hiatus following the Gallagher brothers' split, began on July 4 in Cardiff and is scheduled to conclude on November 23 in São Paulo.
