An attendee of an Oasis concert at Wembley ended up needing surgery after slipping on stairs just a day following a tragic incident where another concert-goer passed away. Michael Hargreaves, a 53-year-old self-employed plumber and gas engineer, slipped on the stairs while carrying drinks for himself and his wife during the concert. He mentioned that the floor was unusually slippery compared to his previous experiences at Wembley and other concerts. Despite receiving first aid at the venue, he had to leave the concert early to seek medical attention.
Michael underwent emergency surgery the next day at Queen Mary Hospital in London due to a severe arm injury. He expressed concerns about the long-term consequences of the injury on his ability to work, stating that he may face difficulties returning to work and may not fully recover the functionality of his dominant arm. Seeking answers about the cause of his injury and assistance in his recovery, Michael sought support from the legal specialists at Slater and Gordon.
Another incident at the same concert involved the death of a landscape gardener named Lee Claydon, who suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at a medical center within Wembley Stadium. An inquest into his death has been opened, and Oasis expressed condolences to his family and friends. Wembley Stadium reported that all incidents at the venue are thoroughly investigated, and guests are provided with appropriate medical attention, although some may choose to leave against medical advice.
The series of events at the Oasis concert have raised concerns about safety measures at major venues and the need for thorough investigations into such incidents to ensure the well-being of concert attendees.
