Radiohead reschedule summer shows after stage collapse destroys light show

Radiohead have been forced to reschedule a handful of upcoming European dates after last weekend’s tragic stage collapse in Toronto destroyed their elaborate lighting rig. In addition to killing drum technician Scott Johnson, the band says the collapse destroyed their light show.

“This show was unique and will take many weeks to replace,” read a statement released today. “The collapse also caused serious damage to our backline, some elements of which are decades old and therefore hard to replace.”

Dates affected include shows in Italy, Germany and Switzerland. New dates are expected to come out on June 27th.
