Oasis fans raise over £7,000 for family of man who died at Wembley show

A GoFundMe set up to raise money for the family of the man who died at Oasis’ Wembley Stadium show at the weekend has raised over £7,000.

The fan has been named as 45-year-old Lee Claydon, a landscape gardener from Bournemouth. He passed away during the fourth of five shows at the London venue from injuries consistent with a fall.

According to his father Clive, Claydon was attending the show with his brother and his brother’s children and might have drunk alcohol at the gig but hadn’t 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,” Clive said [via The Guardian].

He spoke of him as a “a hard-working family man” who “loved his kid”. “He was a lovely bloke, loved to be with his family … He had everything going for him. I am so devastated,” he said.

The GoFundMe page, which was organised by his brother Aaron, was set up to raise money for his partner Amanda and his son Harry in order to “take one worry off Amanda and family right now as they are going through any family’s worst nightmare”.

“Our family has been turned upside down and are struggling to deal with this devastation and unexpected loss,” he wrote on the page.

“Lee was a loving family man who was a role model to his son Harry and was loved so much by all his family. Lee would have done anything for any of us and he was taken from us far too soon and we will miss him so very much.”

Oasis said in a statement on Sunday: “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.”

Fans who were at the show have said that conditions in the stands “seemed unsafe”, sharing concerns with the Guardian over the allegedly “lax” security and the level of alcohol consumption. The amount of beer being drunk and thrown made the floors slippery, according to those who spoke to the publication.

A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium told NME: “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 Ground 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 Metropolitan Police urged anyone who “may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage” to come forward.

Meanwhile, it later emerged that a fan had missed the entire show in Manchester he had a ticket for after he was knocked unconscious by a security worker that was trying to keep out gate crashing fans.

Joel Garner, 34, is said to have had a seizure after being knocked unconscious and was rushed to the medical centre, before being taken to the hospital.
