Family of 'loving family man' who died at Oasis concert talk of 'devastation'

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, AUG 5 – Lee Claydon, 41, fell from the upper tier balcony during an Oasis concert, prompting family concerns about barrier safety and calls for witness accounts and investigation.

  • During the Oasis gig at Wembley Stadium, 45-year-old Lee Claydon died from injuries consistent with a fall during the fourth of five shows.
  • The family says he slipped amid questions over barrier safety, citing slippery floors from beer, as they describe the conditions at the concert.
