Oasis fan Lee Claydon sadly died following a fall at the band’s gig on Saturday night and his last social post has been revealed where he responded to a message from his brother
A dad’s last three-word social media post shows his excitement about going to an Oasis gig where he tragically fell to his death.
Lee Claydon was pronounced dead at the scene at Wembley Stadium on Saturday having suffered “injuries consistent with a fall”. He is understood to have fallen from the upper tier balcony at the London concert while the crowd was enjoying fireworks and cheering the show.
Before the gig Aaron Claydon, brother of beloved Lee , had written on Facebook “today is gonna be the day”, a reference to the Oasis smash-hit ‘Wonderwall’. It comes after teenage thugs beat rough sleeper to death and laughed as he lay in street.

And possibly one of the last times Lee posted on social media was a comment in response to his brother’s post. He tagged his brother and other family members in the post. And Lee commented: “Cheers our kid”.
Since the incident, Aaron set up a GoFundMe page in honour of his brother and to help with financial support for his family.
In a touching tribute, Aaron said his brother was the person he “always looked up to” and that their family has been “turned upside down” by his death. The family including his partner Amanda is “struggling to deal with this devastation and unexpected loss”, Aaron said.
He wrote: “Lee leaves behind his Son, Dad, Partner , Brothers, Sisters, Nephews and Niece. 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. Lee loved all outdoor activities, one of his favourite hobbies was fishing . He also loved music and his guitar. He also really enjoyed going to watch and support the boys and his nephew at their football games.
“Amanda and the boys have our full support at this very sad time which is why we would love to be able to help them financially as well as emotionally. Please help us raise as much funds as we can to take one worry off Amanda and family right now as they are going through any family’s worst nightmare.”
Paying tribute to the dad on Facebook , his cousin Shannon Gabrielle said: “Honestly don’t even know what words to write right now. My cousin Lee tragically passed away this weekend after no doubt having the time of his life at the Oasis concert this weekend, most will have seen snippets in the news I’m sure & as you can imagine it has devastated the whole family and for his closest knit family unit it’s the toughest time they are going through ever right now.
“Sharing his go fund me page, in the hope that any donations, big or small, will go a long way towards helping his partner Amanda & the boys throughout this awful period and costs of things. You just don’t fathom you will go out for a night of amazing fun & not come home at the end of it.”
After the news emerged, Oasis said they were “shocked and saddened” to hear of the death during their sell-out Wembley show at the weekend. The band said in a statement: “We are shocked and saddened to hear of the tragic death of a fan at the show last night. Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved.”
