LONDON — Oasis said Sunday its members are “shocked and saddened” after a man died following a fall during the band’s concert at London’s Wembley Stadium.
The Metropolitan Police said officers and paramedics responded just before 10:30 p.m. Saturday to reports of an injured person.
A man in his 40s was found “with injuries consistent with a fall” and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police appealed for witnesses or anyone with phone video of the incident to come forward.
“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.”
The Britpop group’s first tour in 16 years began July 4 in Cardiff, Wales. Saturday’s concert was the fourth of seven planned shows at Wembley.
Stadium officials said Sunday night’s performance will proceed as scheduled. — Agencies
