<\/p>\nThe family of a man who fell to his death at the end of an Oasis concert at Wembley Stadium say he “slipped” and there are “questions about the barriers”.<\/p>\n
Lee Claydon, a 45-year-old landscape gardener from Bournemouth in Dorset had “everything going for him”, his father said.<\/p>\n
Clive Claydon, 75, said his son was a “lovely bloke” and a “hard-working family man” who loved his own son.<\/p>\n
“He had everything going for him. I am so devastated I have been to the doctor for tablets and everything to get over it,” Mr Claydon said.<\/p>\n
Discussing how the tragedy may have happened, he said his son “doesn’t take drugs [and] may have had a couple of beers but who hadn’t there”?<\/p>\n
He added: “People have said horrible things but it was just an accident.”<\/p>\n

Lee Claydon was at the gig with his brother and his brother’s children who did not see what happened.<\/p>\n
He was found with “injuries consistent with a fall” and pronounced dead at the scene, the Met Police said.<\/p>\n
Oasis said they were “shocked and saddened”<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>to hear of his death.<\/p>\n “It must have been horrific,” Clive Claydon said.<\/p>\n “All I know is there was beer everywhere, it’s slippery, he slipped apparently, we do not know the rest of it, there’s questions about the barriers.”<\/p>\n The Met Police is asking for any witnesses, or anyone with mobile phone footage, to come forward.<\/p>\n A fundraising page has been set up.<\/p>\n Witness saw similar incident and asks ‘were lessons learned’?<\/strong><\/p>\n A woman who saw a man falling from an upper tier at Wembley Stadium in June 2021 says the death of Lee Claydon makes her wonder whether lessons have been learned.<\/p>\n Stephanie Good, 39, said a man fell during a Euro 2020 match between England and Croatia.<\/p>\n He landed “right next to where we were” on the “stairwell between rows of seats”, she said.<\/p>\n Named as Jon, he reportedly survived but suffered two broken ankles, a fractured femur and fractured pelvis just before kick-off.<\/p>\n Ms Good said she tried to give feedback but was unable to and felt the “emergency response was really lacking”.<\/p>\n The NHS manager from east London said the tragic incident at the Oasis gig was “so similar” to what she witnessed that it made her wonder “were lessons learned”?<\/p>\n Image: During that incident, among stadium staff “nobody seemed to know what to do”, she told the Press Association.<\/p>\n She thinks the man may have been trying to attach a flag to the front of a stand and “somehow managed to fall straight over”.<\/p>\n She said: “They (staff) didn’t seem well-trained in terms of how to respond to a really big emergency.<\/p>\n “Their stewards were kind of paralysed a little bit by fear, or they just weren’t well trained and didn’t know how to call for paramedics.<\/p>\n “It was us who were sort of shouting at them that they needed to get some paramedics.<\/p>\n “The first person on the scene wasn’t a stadium paramedic or St John Ambulance. It was an off-duty firefighter who had seen the guy fall and ran down to just try and offer some help.”<\/p>\n Read more<\/strong>: Regarding the follow-up, Ms Good said staff moved spectators to other seats but did not ask for witness statements.<\/p>\n She added: “They didn’t seek any input from people who’d seen the incident or the aftermath of it. They didn’t seem interested in speaking to anybody about it.<\/p>\n “I was a bit concerned, because I felt that the emergency response was really lacking.”<\/p>\n She then tried to get in touch to give feedback, but was unable to do so and did not receive a response to a message on social media, she said.<\/p>\n A Wembley spokesperson said: “Wembley Stadium operates to a very high health and safety standard, fully meeting legal requirements for the safety of spectators and staff, and is certified to and compliant with the ISO 45001 standard.<\/p>\n “We work very closely and collaboratively with all relevant event delivery stakeholders – including event owners, local authorities, the Sports Grounds Safety Authority and the police – to deliver events to high standards of safety, security and service for everyone attending or working in the venue.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The family of a man who fell to his death at the end of an Oasis concert at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":320634,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[13,12,14],"class_list":{"0":"post-320633","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-stories"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114977904141095795","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320633","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=320633"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/320633\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/320634"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=320633"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=320633"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=320633"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Liam](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/skynews-oasis-liam-gallagher_6975751.jpg\")
