Radiohead rebuffs Palestine protester

Radiohead rebuffs Palestine protester

From the BBC’s Sydney reporter:

Radiohead singer Thom Yorke briefly walked off stage during his Australian solo tour after an exchange with an audience member who heckled him with a protest about deaths in Gaza.

Videos posted online by concert-goers at the Melbourne show on Wednesday show a man in the crowd shouting at Yorke. While not all of his words can be heard, he calls on the singer to “condemn the Israeli genocide of Gaza”.

Yorke responds by telling the heckler to “hop up on stage” to make his remarks.

“Don’t stand there like a coward, come here and say it. You want to piss on everybody’s night? Ok you do it, see you later,” Yorke continues, before removing his guitar and halting his set.
