NEED TO KNOW
As Oasis played a sold-out show, an apparent tragedy unfolded in the crowd.
While Liam and Noel Gallagher performed their hits to an enthusiastic crowd at Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday, Aug. 2, a man in the audience died at the venue, according to reports from The Independent and the BBC.
The Metropolitan Police said that medics, police and the London Ambulance service responded to reports that a man in his 40s at the concert had been injured at around 10:19 p.m. local time, according to the outlets.
Police said the man, who “was found with injuries consistent with a fall,” was pronounced dead at the scene, the U.K. outlets said.
Police also asked those who attended the Aug. 2 show to comb through their concert footage and to come forward with any information about the fatal incident.
“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,” the Metropolitan Police said, according to The Independent.
The Metropolitan Police did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Sunday, Aug. 3.
In a statement obtained by the PEOPLE, Oasis said, “We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night.”
