Man dies after falling at Oasis Wembley Stadium concert, police say
The force said officers on duty at the stadium responded, alongside venue medics and the London Ambulance Service, to reports a person had been injured at around 10.20pm.
"A man - aged in his 40s - was found with injuries consistent with a fall. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene," the statement read.
A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium said: "Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers."
According to reports, the man fell from the venue's upper tier.
The police statement continued: "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.
"If you have any information that could help us to confirm what happened, please call 101."
The reunion tour began at the start of July and the band are on Sunday night performing the final concert of a five-gig run at Wembley.

Zendaya and fiancé Tom Holland reunite to walk dogs ahead of ‘Spider-Man' filming
Zendaya and Tom Holland have been reunited after weeks of separate work obligations. The couple were photographed by the British tabloid The Sun enjoying some downtime strolling through London's Richmond Park with their dogs. Both actors wore casual outfits — Zendaya in a pink sweater and long black shorts, and Holland sporting a blue T-shirt and a red hat embroidered with the name of his non-alcoholic beer company, Bero. Though she was dressed down from her usual glam, the Oakland native still had on her dazzling engagement ring, a 5.02-carat diamond designed by London-based jeweler Jessica McCormack. Zendaya and Holland are now in Glasgow, Scotland to begin production on 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' which is expected to hit theaters on July 31. Prior to that, the ' Euphoria ' star was in Budapest filming 'Dune: Part Three,' while Holland spent time in England to promote Bero during Wimbledon. Earlier this year, the two were filming Christopher Nolan's mythic action flick ' The Odyssey, ' due out July 17. The forthcoming films and their subsequent press tours are a big reason why the couple's wedding won't be happening anytime soon, according to Law Roach, Zendaya's longtime stylist and friend. 'The process hasn't even started yet,' Roach told E! News at the Las Culturistas Culture Awards last month. 'We have a lot of time.' 'She and Tom are super private about their relationship,' he told Complex in May. 'They try to be as private as possible, so like, there won't be a Vogue spread, or there won't be, you know, pictures of the wedding.' He added, 'The people that she will invite will be really respectful of their privacy.' Zendaya and Holland have been private about their relationship for years, and only went public when paparazzi leaked photos of them kissing in a car in 2021. Neither actor has spoken about their upcoming nuptials, but Zendaya showed off her engagement ring at the Golden Globe Awards in January. Holland's father was the one who later confirmed the news.

Tougher gun laws introduced after Keyham and Woodmancote shootings
People with a record of violence or domestic abuse will be prevented from owning firearms under new rules following a series of killings in recent years. The new guidance, issued on Tuesday, comes in response to concerns raised by coroners and campaigners after shootings in Woodmancote, Sussex, and Keyham, near Plymouth. Police officers will be instructed to interview partners or other household members of people applying for a firearms licence to identify signs of domestic abuse or other factors that could make someone unsuitable to own a weapon. They must carry out additional checks to ensure people with a record of violence are not permitted to hold a firearms licence. The move comes two years after an inquest found that 'catastrophic failures' in the licensing system had meant Keyham gunman Jake Davison had been allowed to own a shotgun despite his history of violence. Davison, then 22, killed his mother and four others including a three-year-old girl in an eight-minute shooting spree before taking his own life in August 2021. Evidence of dishonesty will also count against an application, including withholding relevant medical history. Robert Needham, who killed his partner Kelly Fitzgibbons and their daughters Ava and Lexi with a legally owned shotgun at their home in Woodmancote in 2020, was given a licence despite admitting that he had failed to disclose a history of depression and work-related stress. Emma Ambler, Ms Fitzgibbons' sister, welcomed the changes but said there was 'still some way to go'. She said: 'I still believe that holding a gun licence is a privilege and not a right. 'The priority has to be the safety of society and it's so important to stop these extremely dangerous weapons falling into the wrong hands, which these changes will go some way to doing.' Tuesday's changes will also mean applicants for shotgun licences now require two referees rather than one, bringing the process into line with the rules for other firearms. Policing minister Dame Diana Johnson said: 'Only those who meet the highest standards of safety and responsibility should be permitted to use shotguns or firearms, and it is crucial that police have full information about the suitability of all applicants for these lethal weapons. 'The events in Woodmancote in 2020, Plymouth in 2021 and other cases provide a tragic reminder of what can happen when these weapons are in the hands of the wrong people, and we must do everything we can to protect the public.' Controls on shotgun ownership could be further toughened after another consultation, due to be launched later this year, that will also seek views on improving the rules on private firearms sales. The new consultation follows the case of Nicholas Prosper, who killed his mother, Juliana Falcon, and siblings Giselle and Kyle Prosper in Luton in 2024. Prosper, 19, had been able to purchase a shotgun and 100 cartridges from a legitimate firearms dealer after forging a licence. He was jailed for life with a minimum term of 49 years after pleading guilty to the murders earlier this year.
