The Metropolitan police said a man in his 40s died after suffering injuries consistent with a fall at the end of the band's performance at about 10.19pm on Saturday.

Yesterday, the Met announced that the Health and Safety Executive, the body that investigates accidents, had been informed.

Witnesses who were about 3 metres (10ft) from where the man landed said he fell from the upper tier of Wembley's block 511, on to the aisle between blocks 211 and 210.

Emma, 40, from Liverpool, said the man landed next to a row behind her and her partner, Mike, only five seats away. "I've been feeling awful ever since - I can't stop thinking about him," she said. "It happened directly behind our right shoulders. If he had fallen where someone was sitting, it would have killed both people."
