An Oasis fan has claimed she slipped on spilled alcohol at Wembley Stadium, just yards from where a man fell to his death during the band's concert on Saturday night. Lee Claydon, 45, from Bournemouth, died after falling from the upper tier of the 90,000-capacity venue as the show ended.
Another concertgoer, Jade, 31, from Essex, said she slipped on the wet floor and was knocked over by a man who fell from a few rows above. 'The floor was slippery from loads of spilled drinks,' she told The Sun. 'Everyone was jumping and dancing and way drunker than other concerts.' She sustained a dodgy ankle and bruises.
Claydon's father, Clive, 75, claimed his son slipped on spilled beer. 'There was beer all over the floor, it was really slippery, and Lee just slipped and fell,' he said. 'He certainly was not drunk.' Social media users complained about the steepness and low barriers in the upper tier, though one fan called it a 'tragic accident' not the venue's fault.
Wembley Stadium defended its safety standards, stating it operates to a 'very high health and safety standard' and is regularly inspected. Oasis said they were 'shocked and saddened' by the death. The incident remains under investigation.
