Lee Claydon died after sustaining "multiple bodily injuries" from the fall on August 2 last year, in what the Metropolitan Police have deemed a "tragic accident".

The 45-year-old landscape gardener fell from a height during a run of much-anticipated stadium shows for the band's Live '25 reunion tour - the first since their split in 2009.

During a brief pre-inquest review hearing at Barnet Coroner's Court on Wednesday, it was announced that the full inquest hearing will take place over a two week period from February 15.

This could be postponed to March 1 should witnesses not be available.

The Met completed their investigation into the incident in November last year, and have ruled out the possibility of suicide or third-party involvement.

They added that a toxicology report also showed there were "no concerns there".

At a hearing earlier this year, the coroner raised concerns over the safety of barriers at the stadium, and ordered a report examining their design, height and placement.

Mr Claydon’s inquest opening, which took place in September last year, heard the Oasis fan was taken to a medical centre in Wembley after the fall, where he was pronounced dead at 10.38pm.

A post-mortem last August gave the preliminary medical cause of death as "multiple bodily injuries".

In a statement at the time, Oasis said: “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.”
