After the terrible tragedy involving the Toronto stage collapse, Radiohead have announced that they will postpone seven touring dates. The band are still dealing with the grieving process of their fallen drum technician Scott Johnson as well as losing half of their backline due to the hazardous situation.

Please check out an official statement below and the updated touring itinerary after the jump.

“Hello everyone,
As you will probably have heard the roof over the stage collapsed at our show in Toronto killing crew member Scott Johnson and injuring three other crew members. The collapse also destroyed the light show – this show was unique and will take many weeks to replace. The collapse also caused serious damage to our backline, some elements of which are decades old and therefore hard to replace.
Whilst we all are dealing with the grief and shock ensuing from this terrible accident there are also many practical considerations to deal with & consequently we have to try and reschedule the following shows…
We will make every effort to offer the fans the very best show possible under the circumstances – thanks for your understanding and support.”
