Oasis ‘shocked' after man fatally falls from upper level at Wembley Stadium concert
'We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night,' band members Liam and Noel Gallagher said in a statement obtained by Page Six.
'Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.'
Representatives for Wembley Stadium and Metropolitan Police did not immediately respond to Page Six's requests for comment.
The tragic incident took place on Saturday night local time as the 'Wonderwall' hitmakers played to a sold-out crowd in London.
Police and medics showed up at the arena around 10.19pm local time in response to reports of a man in his 40s being injured after falling from a significant height, per BBC.
According to a spokesperson for the police department, the man was pronounced dead at the scene after he 'was found with injuries consistent with a fall'.
Police also said they 'believe it is likely a number of people witnessed the incident, or may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage'.
Wembley Stadium also responded to the incident in a statement, saying that medics, police and the London Ambulance service attended to the man.
'Despite (medics) efforts, the fan very sadly died,' it said in the statement obtained by BBC.
'Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers.'
The band's Sunday concert went ahead as planned.

The Oscar-winning actor is performing as a Rat Pack-inspired crooner in a one-night-only concert at a popular resort in Cyprus, reports The U.S. Sun. He will be accompanied by a jazz band as he belts out 1960s classics between sharing tales from his life on stage and screen. VIP tickets, including a 30-minute meet-and-greet photo opportunity, bottle of champagne and fruit platter, are A$2255. Other seats for his Songs & Stories gig at the Parklane Luxury Collection Resort in Limassol, Cyprus, cost from A$450. Guests are told to dress in cocktail attire for the red-carpet event in the hotel's Diamond Ballroom on November 15. Organisers promise: 'Spacey brings a voice and presence that's simply unmatched. 'It's the return of an entertainer in the grandest sense of the word.' He was spotted warming up for the gig with a secret set at a charity summer dinner and party in Italy last weekend. It comes after Spacey appeared at an event in Cannes in May Spacey, 66, has been largely out of the spotlight since a jury in London cleared him of nine sexual offences in 2023.

British and Irish Lions hooker Dan Sheehan cited for hit on Tom Lynagh
British and Irish Lions hooker Dan Sheehan has been cited for foul play over an incident in Saturday's third Test against Australia that left Wallabies' flyhalf Tom Lynagh knocked out. The incident was briefly looked at by the match officials just before halftime but Sheehan initially escaped punishment even though replays showed he entered a ruck at speed and appeared to make dangerous contact with Lynagh's head. The Australian playmaker was taken from the field to undergo a head injury assessment, which he failed, preventing him from rejoining the match, which the Wallabies won 22-12. Sheehan's actions at the ruck were hotly debated on social media, with many incredulous that he was let off as Australian supporters argued he should have been given an instant red card. Tom Lynagh was substituted off after being hit in the head.

'British & Irish Lions player Dan Sheehan will have a citing complaint reviewed by an independent Foul Play Review Committee (FPRC) after being cited by the independent citing commissioner Adrien Menez for an act of foul play contrary to Law 9.20 (a) (a player must not charge into a ruck or maul …) in the Australia v British & Irish Lions third test in Sydney on Saturday, 2 August,' World Rugby said in the statement. Asked about the incident after the match, Lions coach Andy Farrell said he couldn't comment because he hadn't looked at it yet. 'There are all sorts of rugby incidents that we can pull apart. I've seen quite a few more incidents as well,' he said. 'We'll always go through the right channels when that's concerned.' Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt was also tight-lipped after launching a blistering attack on the way officials deal with head knocks from collisions at rucks after the Television Match Official failed to penalise the Lions over another contentious clean-out that would have ruled out their series-winning try in the second Test in Melbourne. But Schmidt was biting his tongue this time when asked about the hit on Lynagh, the talented young son of Wallabies great Michael Lynagh. 'In live, we didn't see Tom's incident, and it was probably a little bit later that we got a glimpse of it, and that's all I've seen so far,' Schmidt said. Dan Sheehan has been cited for foul play. Picture: Getty Images 'So I'd rather not comment on it until I've seen it. But … You know, there's always a difficulty for a TMO, I guess. He's watching the main TV broadcast, and then if he doesn't pick it up there, then he doesn't' access the other angles because everything's happening so quickly.' Schmidt did say that he didn't think there was any malice from the Irish hooker and also that he had checked in on Lynagh's health to ensure he was OK 'I've got massive respect for Dan,' Schmidt said. 'There's a few things like that that will happen in a really physical contest. 'For us with Tom, he is still a young kid and we'll try to look after him and make sure that he's fully fit on the back of getting that knock. But I had a good chat to him after the game and he's pretty resilient.'

Europe has fallen
VOICEOVER: It is anarchy in parts of Spain, France and the UK right now as migrant gangs from Northern Africa and the Middle East violently tried to take over and intimidate innocent people … - Sky News Australia, YouTube, 15 July 2025 Hullo, welcome to Media Watch, I'm Linton Besser. And tonight, we cross to a continent of white people under siege by black people and by brown people tearing at the very fabric of society with all manner of deadly weapons. EUROPE HAS FALLEN Anarchy in Europe as North African and Middle Eastern gangs senselessly terrorise innocent victims - Sky News Australia, YouTube, 15 July 2025 That's the headline on a Sky News report published to YouTube last month which sounded the alarm on a migrant crime wave engulfing Europe, including in Spain where: VOICEOVER: … a man with a baby was callously threatened by a knife wielding gang for simply walking down the street. - Sky News Australia, YouTube, 15 July 2025 In the Catalonian capital meanwhile, the horrors continued: VOICEOVER: … the cobblestone laneways are no longer filled with people enjoying their vacations, but with hundreds of Muslim men chanting. - Sky News Australia, YouTube, 15 July 2025 Better cancel your trip to France too, because over there it's even worse: VOICEOVER: France is also in a migration mess with violence running rampant in the streets, like at the Fête de la Musique last month, where hundreds of young people were stabbed with syringes … - Sky News Australia, YouTube, 15 July 2025 Hundreds stabbed with syringes? And Sky News selected a very authoritative expert to point out all the black people: VOICEOVER: Online commentators were in shock with the footage, with this person saying 'This is France?! This looks like Ghana, not France.' - Sky News Australia, YouTube, 15 July 2025 This exquisitely nuanced piece garnered almost 40,000 comments, many of which were just as erudite, linking the video's many crimes not just with our well-known Jewish overlords but also to the 'great replacement' theory which motivated the 2019 Christchurch massacre. Although, scattered through the vitriol, a handful of Sky's audience had a somewhat different analysis: the biggest race baiting video I've seen so far on these YouTube streets lol - Sky News Australia, YouTube comment, @RenzelYoung, 27 July 2025 Which was a bit like stepping back out of the looking glass because this video has to be one of the most appalling and incendiary things I've seen in journalism for a very long time which, it should also be said, was also wildly wrong from the very first frame. This is not police beating back a violent migrant gang, but police beating back a violent mob of far-right vigilantes. And this video of a man threatened by a knife was in fact filmed in 2023, with no evidence the group was a 'migrant gang'. Likewise this video, rather than a migrant 'take over' of Barcelona, it captures Ashura, an annual day of commemoration for the Islamic faith. And on it goes. The mass syringe attack was in fact a mass panic triggered by a social media hoax with not a single confirmed case, and many of the reports of syringe stabbings in several locations quickly attributed not to migrants but mosquitos. Oh, and this vision is not a migrant takeover either, as dramatic as it might look, but the aftermath of the UEFA Champions League final in which fans clashed with each other and with les flics. As for this appalling internet comment, was it taken from a witness at the scene or an expert in migrant crime? Don't be silly, it's just a mean, deliberately racist remark from some far-right American keyboard warrior. And is Spain, to take one of Sky News' case studies, actually grappling with a surge of migrant-driven crime? Not even close. Whatever angst migration might be causing in the country, Spain's Interior Minister explained last month that: "Crime is not on the rise, nor is it linked to migration," … Despite a 54% rise in foreign residents between 2011 and 2024, crime has dropped seven percentage points, with hate crimes down 13.8% last year and Spain among the world's 25 safest nations … (Spain's Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska) - Reuters, 17 July 2025 And who is the journalist behind this call to arms? Her name is Carla Efstratiou, who has a very busy social media feed full of charming observations such as when she took a stroll through a pro-Palestinian student protest: CARLA EFSTRATIOU: … I swear it smells here, there is a definite stench … I feel like I'm getting rabies just being here … - Go Woke Go Broke, TikTok, 6 May 2024 And why has she been given license to produce this delightful contribution to human advancement? Read the numbers, baby. 3.6 million views. Kerrr-ching. In fact, Carla's contribution to the Sky News catalogue has attracted oh, just a few eyeballs. 7.6 million to be precise, just for this little selection, uploaded in the past few months. But, late on Friday, after receiving our questions, Sky News deleted Carla's nine-minute 'Anarchy in Europe' magnum opus, posting not a 'correction' of course but a 'clarification'. Carla declined to offer us a comment and Sky News would not answer questions about whether its journalist had been provided any guidance, support or editorial direction in the preparation of her package. A spokesperson told us: Sky News Australia rejects the characterisation of the online video by Media Watch but acknowledges that several elements lacked appropriate editorial context. - Email, Sky News Australia Spokesperson, 1 August 2025 Because that's all that was missing, just the context. And what was the video's headline again? Ah yes, 'Europe Has Fallen'. No it hasn't, Carla and co. What has fallen however, what has plummeted through the floor in this piece of drivel, is any sense of responsibility and the public interest.
