The victim of the stage collapse at Downsview Park (one that eerily echoed similar events of last summer) in Toronto this past Saturday has been named as Radiohead drum technician Scott Johnson.
In a post simply titled “Scott,” the band mourned their colleague with the following note on their website:
“We have all been shattered by the loss of Scott Johnson, our friend and colleague. He was a lovely man, always positive, supportive and funny; a highly skilled and valued member of our great road crew. We will miss him very much. Our thoughts and love are with Scott’s family and all those close to him.”
Though it was rumoured the band might instead join the Flaming Lips for their free outdoor show downtown in Toronto on the same night, Toronto Police worked to squash the incorrect information on Twitter. Flaming Lips sent their sympathy to Radiohead and played a rendition of “Knives Out” in tribute.
The cause of the collapse is still being investigated.
