Devoted Oasis Fan Remembered Following Unfortunate Occurrence at Wembley Performance
In a heartbreaking turn of events, Lee Claydon, a 45-year-old fan of the iconic British band Oasis, lost his life during the band's 'Live '25 reunion tour' at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, early August 2025.
Lee, a loving family man from Bournemouth, was attending the concert with his brother and his brother's children when the unfortunate incident occurred. According to reports and his father Clive Claydon's statements, Lee tragically slipped on spilled beer before falling from an upper tier of the stadium[3]. The fall happened amid the performance as the crowd applauded and fireworks were going off[3].
The circumstances are under investigation, with the Metropolitan Police believing several witnesses may have seen or recorded the incident on mobile phones[2][4]. The stadium and police are supporting Lee’s family, who described him as a hardworking, loving family man devoted to his son and outdoor hobbies like fishing[1][2][5].
Oasis expressed their shock and sadness at the death and extended their condolences to Lee's family and friends[6]. The band is scheduled to return to Wembley on September 27 and 28, maintaining their connection with fans amidst the loss they have experienced.
Lee's death was caused by an accidental fall from Wembley's upper tier during the Oasis concert, reportedly triggered by slipping on spilled beer, with emergency responders unable to revive him[1][3][4].
A GoFundMe campaign has been established to assist Lee's partner and sons, raising over £4,500 in support[7]. Local authorities reported that a man in his 40s was discovered with injuries indicative of a fall[8]. Despite the best efforts of emergency services, the man was pronounced dead at the scene[8].
