In a shocking turn of events, a man died at the Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium on Saturday night. The incident occurred around 10:19 p.m. BST, and the man is believed to have fallen from the stadium's upper tier.
The victim, identified as Lee Claydon, was a man in his 40s and a lifelong Oasis fan attending the concert with his family. Paramedics attempted to revive him on the scene, but he could not be saved. The exact cause of his death remains unknown.
