A man in his 40s has died after falling from the upper tier of Wembley Stadium during an Oasis concert on Saturday night.

The tragic incident unfolded just minutes before the band’s final song, as 90,000 fans gathered for the Gallagher brothers’ long-awaited reunion show.

Emergency services were called to the scene at 10:19PM, where they found the man with injuries consistent with a fall. Despite efforts by paramedics and venue medics, he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Oasis Responds: “Shocked and Saddened”

In a joint statement, per the Mirror, Oasis said: “We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night. Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.”

On Sunday night, Liam Gallagher addressed the tragedy during the band’s next Wembley performance, dedicating the song Live Forever “to all the people who can’t be here tonight, but who are here if you know what I mean — and aren’t they looking lovely.”

Concertgoers who witnessed the fall have described scenes of shock and confusion. One fan, seated in section 211 directly below where the man fell, initially thought a coat had been dropped.

“At first glance I thought it was a coat falling from the above tier but then I looked and saw the bloke on the concrete. It was horrific to see," she wrote on social media, per the Mirror.

Another woman, Claire Collier, said her friend’s daughter performed CPR on the man until paramedics arrived.

“It happened about [five] mins before the end of the gig, it was awful... thinking of his family and friends and everyone that witnessed it," Collier wrote.

Others in the crowd echoed the same sense of disbelief. Vincent Muylle, another fan present, said the atmosphere had been “euphoric” before the incident.

“He fell right in front of us," Muylle wrote. "It was very shocking.”

Petrina Whiley added, per the Mirror: “I think we are all in a state of shock at what happened last night.”

A parent attending the concert with their teenage son said the boy witnessed the fall but was too far away to see the impact.

"He asked me this morning to check for news about him, and there was nothing all morning so we hoped he was fine - so so sad to read the update this afternoon," the parent wrote.

Official Statements from Police and Wembley

The Metropolitan Police confirmed the death in a statement Sunday, per The Guardian: “A man – aged in his 40s – was found with injuries consistent with a fall. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. The stadium was busy, and we believe it is likely a number of people witnessed the incident, or may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage.”

They urged anyone with relevant information or footage to contact the police via 101.

Wembley Stadium also issued a statement, which read: “Despite the efforts of medics, the fan very sadly died. Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers.”

Safety Concerns Raised by Fans

In the aftermath of the incident, fans have taken to social media to call for improved crowd management at large gigs.

“Oasis fans—please take care of one another at gigs,” wrote one attendee. “Last night at Wembley was incredible, but at times it felt genuinely dangerous… Some younger groups were pushing and surging forward. Security did their best, but there were a lot of people falling and needing help to get back up.”

Another said: “We’ve experienced metal gigs, festivals, mosh pits… but this was on a whole different level.”

Oasis Tour Continues Despite Tragedy

Despite the incident, the band continued with their scheduled performance the following evening. Sunday’s show marked the final night of the first leg of their Wembley run.

Oasis is set to return for two more shows at the venue on September 27 and 28, before continuing their Live 25 world tour with dates in Manchester, the US, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and South America through November.

Liam and Noel Gallagher, reuniting on stage for the first time in 16 years, have yet to speak about the tragedy beyond their official statement.

However, fans noted that Liam’s words before Live Forever carried particular weight on Sunday: “This one’s for all the people who can’t be here tonight, but who are here if you know what I mean. And aren’t they looking lovely.”

Our thoughts go out to the concertgoer's loved ones and anybody else impacted by this tragedy.

For fans of One Direction - undoubtedly one of the most successful and popular boy bands of all time - it's been tough moving on after the lads decided to part ways back in 2015.

The split was said to be a 'hiatus' which could give Niall, Harry, Liam, and Louis the chance to focus on their solo work - especially following bandmate Zayn's initial departure earlier in 2015. But the longer we've gone with no more news, the more it seems as though the split could be permanent.

However, in what must come as welcome news to all 1D fans throughout the world Louis Tomlinson has confirmed that the band One Direction will be reuniting soon.

Louis Tomlinson Teases One Direction Reunion:

[[jwplayerwidget||https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/BAcNRnmg-Q0L14jDU.mp4||BAcNRnmg]]

In a recent appearance on The One Show to promote his new solo album,  Tomlinson opened up about the possibility of getting the band back together, admitting that they would be "stupid" not to give fans what they want.

Louis stated: "I think [a reunion will] happen at some point, we’d be stupid not to. I think we’re kind of exploring and enjoying ourselves individually. We’ve been on a break four years, I’m only just getting round to releasing my first album."

He continued: "Fans who follow our every move every day probably feel we’ve not been a group for a while, but to us we’re… I know I am just finding my feet really. I wasn’t ready, to be honest. I had an idea we might have a small break because we’d done a lot of work in a small amount of time."

However, a reunion is dependant on the feelings of the other three members, who haven't always been on the best of terms during the hiatus. For example, last year Harry Styles totally roasted Zayn Malik during a monologue he performed while guest-hosting Saturday Night Live.

Oasis musician Paul Arthurs has revealed that he has been diagnosed with tonsil cancer.

Arthurs, the guitarist and founding member of Oasis, has pulled out of upcoming performances due to the diagnosis.

The 56-year-old shared the news on Twitter, writing: “Just to let you all know I’m going to be taking a break from playing for a while."

Arthurs, also known to his fans as Bonehead, went on to say: "I have been diagnosed with tonsil cancer. But the good news is it’s treatable and I will be starting a course of treatment soon. I will keep you posted how it is going.”

The Oasis star also revealed that in light of his health, he is going to have to miss some of his forthcoming shows with Liam Gallagher.

He concluded the post: "I'm gutted I'm missing the gigs with Liam and the band. Have the best summer and enjoy the gigs if you're going, I'll see you soon xxx"

Gallagher also took to Twitter to share a message of support, writing: “Sending BIG love to the 1 n only Bonehead and his family wishing you a speedy recovery we’re all thinking of you rasta you’ll be back on stage bfore you can say r we doing Colombia LG x.”

Gallagher will be performing gigs all over Europe, and Australia until early September, with concerts planned in Madrid, Glasgow, and Melbourne. He will then be touring South America in November.

Arthurs co-founded Oasis with Gallagher and they originally called themselves the Rain. They were later joined by Gallagher's brother Noel and changed their name.

Arthurs recorded three albums with Oasis including the seminal Definitely Maybe and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?, before bowing out in 1999 during the recording of fourth album Standing on the Shoulder of Giants.

He went on to join Gallagher's band Beady Eye, from 2013 to 2014, and has regularly played live with Gallagher during his solo career, most recently at the Reading and Leeds festivals in 2021. Following his career with Oasis, he also formed the group Parlour Flames and worked as a radio DJ

Noel Gallagher has revealed that he would like his number to be up within the next 20 years.

The Oasis rocker, 54, has no desire to live into old age and would actually want to be dead by the age of 75.

Speaking on BBC Radio 1, the musician said: "Do I want to live another 50 years? No. Just think how s*** the world is now. I would rather not live through it. At 75 I want to go."

However, the Oasis member does have some important things on his bucket list before he dies, including some big collaborations.

Noel said his "plan for the next 10 years is to make three great albums."

"I would like to write a song with Johnny Marr and meet Bob Dylan. I would like to write and perform with Neil Young," he added.

"I would like to score the soundtrack to a Quentin Tarantino box office smash and play a round of golf with a therapist. There is not a great deal I yearn for."

The 'Wonderwall' singer also has no plans to follow in Abba's footsteps with a hologram tour, and the challenges the ongoing pandemic presents along the way does not stop him.

"I would not consider gigs with me as a hologram. No, there would have to be an audience involved. You need a crowd in front of you. It's a human interaction," he said.

What's more, he says performing is "meaningless" without that live audience.

Last year, he made headlines after he hit out at 'plain' Prince William and his 'snowflake' brother.

Speaking to The Sun to promote new High Flying Birds greatest hits album Back the Way We Came, he said: "Prince William. I feel that f***ing lad's pain.

"He's got a f***ing younger brother shooting his f***ing mouth off with s*** that is just so unnecessary. I'd like to think I was always the William."

He went on: "It's funny though, doing promo for this, it's funny how they obsess about it around the world.

"I did a week here of Australian promo down the phone and Zoom and all that and they were like, 'So Noel Gallagher, f***ing ten years of High Flying Birds! It's been amazing! And f***ing Oasis! But what we really want to know is, how much of a c*** is Prince Harry?' "And I'm just like, 'I don't know mate. I don't know them.'"

Presumably feeling as though he didn't stick his neck out quite enough, Noel continued: "But Prince Harry is coming across like a typical f***ing woke snowflake, f***ing a******e.

"Just don't be f***ing dissing your family because there's no need for it. "This is what happens when you get involved with Americans. As simple as that."

Blink-182 are reuniting with Tom DeLonge for a new international tour for the first time since 2015 - and the group announced as much in typical Blink-182 fashion.

The group, who are set to release their new single 'Edging' this week, delighted fans on Tuesday, October 11, when they made the unexpected announcement of their reunion on their official social media accounts.

A Facebook post from the band read: "We’re coming. Tour’s coming. Album’s coming. Tom’s coming. Tickets on sale Monday. New song EDGING out Friday."

Included in the post was a video with the band's trademark x-rated wordplay on the idea that the band is "coming" back with a brand new tour.

This euphemistic language is echoed in the title of the beloved rock band's new single: 'Edging'.

Needless to say, plenty of fans have been weighing in to share their excitement upon hearing the news, with many expressing their appreciation for the band's signature adult humor.

One emotional fan gushed: "I'm about to cry. Tom is back. The band is whole again. Love you guys."

Another added: "This is a great day. I for one am thrilled. Life has meaning. The simple joys are back. God bless you 3."

A third added: "I laughed so hard at this. Glad to see Tom back. Looking forward to the new music."

A forth commented: "This is the Blink we all love. Toilet humor and catchy pop punk. Love it!"

A final fan hailed the announcement as the "best news I've had in years. I will fight anyman and his dog for tickets."

Per Variety, the global tour will feature openers Turnstile in North America, Rise Against in Australia, The Story So Far in the United Kingdom and Europe and Wallows in Latin America.

Tickets for the bands tour are slated to go on sale at 10:00 AM on Monday, October 17 at blink182.com.

Blink-182 was founded by DeLonge and Hoppus in 1992, with Barker joining as the drummer in 1998. The group went on hiatus, focusing on other projects in 2005, with DeLonge working with his band Angels & Airwaves.

They reunited for a tour and new music in 2009, but DeLonge ultimately left the band in 2015. Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba then joined as DeLonge's replacement.
