Oasis said on Sunday that its members are “shocked and saddened” after a man fell to his death during a concert by the band at London’s Wembley Stadium.
The Metropolitan Police force said officers and paramedics responded to reports of an injured person just before 10:30 pm (7:30 am AEST) on Saturday night.
It said a man in his 40s was found “with injuries consistent with a fall”.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The force urged anyone who saw what happened or caught it on phone video to contact police.
“We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night,” Oasis said in a statement, offering ”sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.”
A representative of Wembley also released a statement, saying specialised support was being offered to the family of the man who has not been identified.
“Despite [emergency] efforts, the fan very sadly died,” the statement said.
“Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers.”
