A concertgoer apparently fell from the upper tiers at Wembley Stadium as the band’s reunion tour show was winding down.

The death of a man at an Oasis concert on Saturday in London has cast a pall over the long-awaited reunion tour of the ’90s Britpop band, which began with fanfare last month.
The concertgoer, whose name was not released, apparently fell from the upper tiers of Wembley Stadium about the time the show was winding down, based on initial assessments.
“We are shocked & saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night,” the band said Sunday in a statement that was reported by British news media. “Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.”
The band was preparing to play another concert at Wembley on Sunday, its last show in London this month. (The band’s management company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)
The Metropolitan Police said that officers working at the stadium, medics and ambulance service workers responded to reports of an injury around 10:20 p.m. The concertgoer was in his 40s and had “injuries consistent with a fall,” the police said in a statement. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The authorities were seeking information from the public to help them determine what happened. “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,” the police statement said.
