A concert in London by British rock band Oasis, which reunited after 16 years, resulted in an incident where an audience member fell and died.
According to multiple foreign media outlets, including the British BBC and The Guardian, a report was received on the 2nd (local time) during the Oasis concert held at Wembley Stadium in London, stating that someone had been injured, prompting police and medical personnel to respond to the scene.
At the scene, a man in his 40s was found with injuries from the fall. The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
This man was reportedly sitting in the upper section of the audience before falling.
Oasis expressed shock and sorrow over the "tragic death of a fan" in a statement the day before, stating, "We would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends."
The police assessed that the concert venue had a seating capacity of 90,000 and that it was a very crowded situation.
The police stated, "We believe there were numerous witnesses to the moment of the accident," adding, "Whether intentional or not, there will likely be many videos recorded on mobile phones," and they are awaiting contacts related to the circumstances of the incident.
A spectator sitting in the lower section posted on social media, "At first, I thought it was a coat falling from above," and explained, "Later, I saw that person lying on the concrete. It was horrific."
Oasis proceeded with the scheduled concert in London on the 3rd, the day after the incident.
This concert is part of Oasis's world tour that began last month, reuniting after 16 years following the long-standing feud between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher.
Formed in 1991, Oasis is a legendary Britpop band that sold over 90 million albums worldwide with hits like "Don't Look Back in Anger" and "Live Forever." They disbanded in 2009 after a feud between the Gallagher brothers.
Oasis announced their tour schedule alongside their reunion news last August. At that time, tickets sold out in an instant, and the prices for scalped tickets skyrocketed, proving their enduring popularity.
Oasis will continue their tour in Ireland, the United States, Mexico, Japan, Australia, and Brazil. They are also scheduled to perform in Korea in October.
