A security guard who was injured while working at Creamfields festival last month has died, his family have announced.

The guard, who is named in the family statement as Michael, was helping to clear up after the four-day event on August 28 when the incident happened.

Emergency services rushed to the scene at the festival ground in Cheshire at around 4.50pm, and he was later reported to be fighting for his life in hospital.

It is not yet known exactly what happened to him, but the Daily Mirror reported he had suffered a serious head injury.

In a post on a Creamfields community Facebook group, a man believed to be Michael’s brother wrote: ‘As a family we regret to inform you that Michael AKA Bruno (Security Guard) passed away at 5am this morning (15/09/23) following a tragic set of unfortunate circumstances.
