0 comments

Police have concluded that the fan who fell to his death at one of Oasis‘ ‘Live ’25’ shows in London died in a “tragic accident”.

Lee Claydon,aged 45,fell from an upper tier at London’s Wembley Stadium on August 2,at the end of one of the Britpop band’s seven shows there.

An inquest was opened at Barnet Coroner’s Court in September and it was confirmed that Claydon was taken to a medical center in Wembley after the fall. He died later that evening due to “multiple bodily injuries”.

Now, police have concluded that the incident was “a tragic accident” and confirmed that they do not “suspect any third party involvement”.

According to a report from Metro,Clayton fell from the upper tier balcony during the fireworks display at the end of the finale ‘Champagne Supernova’,and while he was found to have alcohol in his system,this was “normal for any of the people attending” the gig.

“From a police point of view, this is no longer a criminal prosecution,” Met Police’s Detective Sergeant James Raffin added at a hearing. “This, from everything we have seen, was a tragic accident. From a police point of view, I would say our examination is complete.”

After news of Clayton’s death, other fans at the show came forward to share how they thought conditions in the stands “seemed unsafe” and security were allegedly too “lax” considering the high level of alcohol consumption.
