Family of Oasis fan who fell to death at concert speak out – ‘Devastated’ | UK | News

The father of a “lifelong” Oasis fan who fell to his death at the end of one of the band’s reunion concerts at Wembley Stadium last weekend says the family is “devastated” by the tragedy. Lee Claydon, 45-year-old landscape gardender from Bournemouth passed away following the incident at the London event on Saturday, his family said.

Lee’s father Clive Claydon, 75, told the PA News Agency the dad-of-one was “a lovely bloke, loved to be with his family – a hard-working family man, he loved his kid, looked after them really well”. “He had everything going for him,” he added. “I am so devastated, I have been to the doctor for tablets and everything to get over it.”

Lee, who was looking forward to a holiday with his family to Turkey, had gone to the concert with his brother and his brother’s children, and Clive said while he may have had a “couple of beers”, he had not taken any drugs.

“He doesn’t take drugs, he may have had a couple of beers but who hadn’t there, people have said horrible things but it was just an accident,” his dad added.

Clive said that he was concerned about the safety measures at Wembley but added his son’s brother and family had not seen the accident happen, the news agency reports.

“It must have been horrific”.

“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. Of all the thousands of people there, it had to be my son,” he added.

The cause of the fatal fall is not yet known, and police are continuing their investigations.

The Metropolitan Police are asking for anyone who witnessed the incident, or has mobile phone footage, to get in contact.

“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 force said.

A fundraising page has been set up by to help raise money for Lee’s partner and son, which has already reached over £10,500 as of Tuesday night.

“Our family has been turned upside down and are struggling to deal with this devastation and unexpected loss,” Lee’s brother Aaron Claydon wrote on the page.

A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium 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.

“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.”

The Health and Safety Executive has been informed.

The concert on Satuday was one of seven sold-out Oasis reunion shows at the 90,000-capacity stadium, which has seating spread over three tiers.

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

“Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.”
