The family of an Oasis fan who died after a fall at the band’s Wembley Stadium concert have remembered him as “a loving family man.”
Lee Claydon, 45, from Bournemouth, “was taken from us far too soon, and we will miss him so very much,” wrote his brother, Aaron.
“Our family has been turned upside down and are struggling to deal with this devastation and unexpected loss.”
Police reported on Sunday that a man “was found with injuries consistent with a fall” and was pronounced dead at the scene on Saturday night.
Aaron Claydon shared on Facebook: “Still in shock and cannot believe I am writing this, but sadly over the weekend I lost my best mate, the man I looked up to, and the man I was lucky enough to call my brother Lee Claydon.”
A GoFundMe page established for his brother’s partner and sons has garnered over £4,500.
Shannon Gabrielle posted on Facebook: “My cousin Lee tragically passed away this weekend after no doubt having the time of his life at the Oasis concert this weekend.”
“Most will have seen snippets in the news I’m sure & as you can imagine it has devastated the whole family and for his closest knit family unit it’s the toughest time they are going through ever right now.”
She added: “You just don’t fathom you will go out for a night of amazing fun & not come home at the end of it.”
Reports indicate Mr. Claydon fell from an upper tier of the stadium.
Oasis released a statement on Sunday expressing they were “shocked and saddened” by the news of the fan’s death.
The band added: “Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.”
The Oasis Live ’25 reunion tour began in July. Saturday’s concert was one of seven sold-out reunion concerts at Wembley, which has a 90,000-person capacity across three tiers.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson stated: “A man – aged in his 40s – was found with injuries consistent with a fall. He was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.”
“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.”
Wembley Stadium issued a statement confirming that medics, police, and the London Ambulance Service attended to the injured man.
“Despite their efforts, the fan very sadly died. Our thoughts go out to his family, who have been informed and are being supported by specially trained police officers,” the venue said.
The band is scheduled to perform at Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium for three shows in the coming week, followed by tour dates in Ireland, Canada, the US, and Mexico, before returning to Wembley on September 27 and 28.
