Oasis dedicate song to ‘people who can't be here tonight' at Wembley gig
The touching moment came as the Manchester band brought to a close their first run of five gigs at the venue as part of their Live 25 tour.
A man in his 40s was pronounced dead at the scene at the stadium on Saturday after being 'found with injuries consistent with a fall'.

Addressing fans on Sunday night after finishing Whatever, singer Liam Gallagher said: '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. Live Forever.'
The band then played the track of the same name.
The tribute came during a crowd-pleasing set packed with their biggest hits such as Cigarettes And Alcohol, Wonderwall and Don't Look Back In Anger, with the group set to return to the national football stadium for two further dates in September.
Liam and Noel Gallagher arrived on stage hand-in-hand, opening with Hello, from their 1995 album (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, prompting mass football terrace-style singalongs for an opening salvo of fan favourites that included Acquiesce, Some Might Say and Morning Glory.
Before Roll With It, Liam joked to the crowd that guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs wanted to sing Bonehead's Bank Holiday, an album track from (What's The Story) Morning Glory?
During 1994 standalone single Whatever, the band made a nod to their Beatles influence by including a snippet of Octopus's Garden, from 1969's Abbey Road album.
Before Half The World Away, Noel asked the crowd if there was anyone from Manchester in the crowd, receiving a number of boos. He replied: 'None of you would be here if it wasn't for the city of Manchester.'
The set climaxed with fireworks erupting over Wembley as the band played Champagne Supernova.
Before the final song, Liam told the crowd: 'Nice one for putting up with us after all these years.'
The run of concerts has been the first time they have appeared together onstage at the London venue since July 12 2009, when they performed during the Dig Out Your Soul tour.
After the first part of their Wembley stint, the band will head to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium followed by Dublin's Croke Park.
The group will head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America later in the year.
Oasis announced their reunion tour in August last year, 16 years after their dramatic split in 2009 which saw Noel quit following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

Oasis huge Scots shows will see major ban enforced over safety fears
A source said it is 'definitely the right move' STOP FLYING YOUR HEART OUT STOP FLYING YOUR HEART OUT Oasis huge Scots shows will see major ban enforced over safety fears Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A NO-fly zone will be in place over Oasis's massive Scots shows. Aviation watchdogs have banned drones over the stadium amid worries fans could be injured if a device falls from the sky.

Similar curbs were brought in for the Stop Crying Your Heart Out rockers' comeback performances in Manchester and Cardiff last month. Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher are set to take to the stage at the home of Scottish rugby on Friday, Saturday and next Tuesday. And a source said: 'Banning drones above the gigs is the right move. "All it takes is something to go wrong or someone who doesn't know how to properly fly a drone to make a mistake. "If one falls into the crowd people could end up badly hurt.' A Civil Aviation Authority spokesman said the ban was 'in the public interest'. Up to 210,000 fans overall are expected to flock to the sold-out mega-gigs. They face strict rules with metal water bottles, hip flasks, large bags and umbrellas among banned items. And any louts found with knives, drugs and pyros will be reported to cops. Hundreds of Oasis fans queue down Scots street to bag gig merch as buzz begins ahead of Edinburgh shows A Scottish Rugby spokesman said security was 'of the upmost importance' at the gigs. The concerts coincide with the capital's world-famous Fringe arts bash of more than 3,800 shows. Police said a 'proportionate and considered plan' is in place' to keep visitors safe. A force spokesman added: 'We are working to ensure the safety of those attending events and minimise disruption.'

Liam Neeson's son breaks silence on dad's Pamela Anderson romance with telling comment
Liam Neeson's son, Daniel, who he shared with his late wife Natasha Richardson, has publicly reacted to his dad's new relationship with the Baywatch star. Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson delighted fans when they revealed their blossoming romance at the Naked Gun premiere and it seems they have already gotten their families' approval of their new relationship. The pair hit it off after meeting during filming for the Naked Gun reboot, which they both play a leading role in. The Taken actor, 73, appears to be absolutely smitten with the Baywatch icon, 58, who he he called 'gorgeous' and also praised for her 'silliness'. Pamela and Liam have been seen getting cosy on the red carpet together, with both families posing with them for photos at the film's premieres. The actress has now shared her first snap with Liam to her Instagram page in a playful black and white photoshoot of the pair tossing popcorn at the camera. In another snap, Pamela is seen smiling while lying on the floor as Liam is bent over her with a camera in hand. The actress captioned the series of snaps: "The Naked Gun is finally in theatres! Bring your friends, family, lovers… whoever… just go and have a laugh… it's good for you! I'll see you there." The post has brought in over 1M likes and thousands of comments, with Liam's son Daniel, who he shared with his late wife Natasha Richardson, among them. The 28-year-old seemingly confirmed his approval for his father's new romance as he left a string of emojis in the comments. These included two hands raised in celebration, two fires, two white hearts, and a water pistol so it's safe to say Daniel is happy to see the pair together. Daniel's late mother, Natasha Richardson died in a tragic skiing accident when he was just 12-years-old and his older brother Micheál was 13. The Parent Trap star was just 45-years-old when she passed away in 2009 and had been married to Neeson for 15 years. Natasha's sister, Joely Richardson, also shared her support as she touchingly left seven red heart emojis on Pamela's post. The Baywatch star's son, Brandon Thomas Lee, previously said that his mother and Liam were 'having a great time' on the press tour. He told Access Hollywood: "It's fun to see them be, you know, good castmates [and] have a good time. "I just think they're such great co-stars. I think [chemistry] is part of that, right? I think they have such a great onscreen chemistry that it really, you know, means it's well done." He also left a sweet comment on Pam's Instagram post as he wrote: "So proud of you and all of the hard work that went into this film! Everyone involved should be so proud!"

Brandon and his younger brother, Dylan Lee, are from Pamela's turbulent first marriage to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee. They wed in 1995, one year after Liam and Natasha, but went their separate ways in 1998 after the musician was jailed for six months for spousal abuse.
