Oasis fan’s death at Wembley was ‘tragic accident’, inquest told

The death of an Oasis fan who fell from height at a concert at Wembley Stadium was a “tragic accident”, a pre-inquest review has heard.

Lee Claydon, 45, from Bournemouth and known to his family by his middle name Clive, fell from an upper level at the end of the show on 2 August.

At Barnet Coroner’s Court, Det Sgt James Raffin, of the Metropolitan Police, told the hearing it was no longer being treated as a criminal case.

“We do not suspect any third party involvement,” he said. “This, from everything we have seen, was a tragic accident.”

Mr Claydon had been drinking but a toxicology report revealed “no concerns”, the officer told the court.

He said the force had also ruled out the possibility of suicide.

Det Sgt Raffin added: “From a police point of view, I would say our investigation is complete.”

The officer said he was aware the family had concerns over the “circumstances on the night” and that he would pass these on to officials at Brent Council.

The father of three was pronounced dead at a Wembley medical centre at 22:38 BST, an initial hearing in September was told.

The preliminary cause of death was given as “multiple bodily injuries”.

The fall happened during a run of stadium shows for the rock band’s sell-out Live ’25 reunion tour – their first since splitting in 2009.

Oasis previously said in a statement: “We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show.”

Mr Claydon’s father, Clive, paid a tribute to his son, describing him as a “lovely bloke” and a “hard-working family man”.

Senior Coroner Andrew Walker said the full inquest would take place on 26 February.
