The Radiohead frontman walked off stage after an exchange with a heckler at a solo show in Melbourne. The protester was reportedly heard yelling: ‘How many dead children will it take for you to condemn the genocide in Gaza?’

Their lost. They payed for the tickets😂
Protesters are annoying man.
If he had to condemn Isreal, then he would also have to condemn Palistine and Hamas. So he stays quiet. Best thing to do.
Ohh someone disagrees with your genocidal views wah wah sorry that hurts your feelings
I guess we know who'll be first against the wall when Thom is king
Didn't realise he was a genocide supporter, shame i was a fan, but if hes ok with little kids being slaughtered then hes not worth my time anymore 🤷
the pro plastics carnt get on with anyone that why gaza is what it is !
Why do we need every celebrity, rock star etc to give their opinion about everything? If they want to talk on it, fine. If they don't? Also fine.
What difference does it make?
Petulant little child, supporting genocide… Never trust pop idols
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THOM DON'T GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The coward is already on stage, Thomas.
Free Israel 🇮🇱
to be honest i agree with thom, its not his job to be political and if he does say anything political it will just be used against him
Ffs people are too extreme
Total cringe. The ‘protestor’ is the ultimate narcissist.
Maybe the protester was out Electioneering.
TOM NOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!
Why would you buy tickets to support this dude if you dont support what he stands for?
big radiohead fan here:Artists should be questioned about they're political positions..radiohead decision to play in israel was a political statement and a hands up to israel's illegal occupation of palestinians and their land…haven't been following yorke's releases for quite a few years now..i'm tired of listening to a millionaire's depression through his music..is he a great musician?oh yes he definitely is …there is a contradiction though between his music and his political stand and that is a big NO.

State of these comments 😂
Free Gaza
Thom is the best
Protester is such a creep
All my heroes have turned out to be a massive disappointment
While I think everyone should be denouncing what’s happening in Gaza, what is he supposed to do during a concert?! How is this the appropriate time and place for anything. You should go to concerts to listen to music not to heckle the artists.
Must everything be about everything? Or can some things just be about what they are about?
This is just not a random incident. It has been boiling over.
"He's not the villain. Choose someone else" 🎶
Creep
Millions die in a day,we cant even save our country
All my goats are getting washed 💔
Well at least he isn’t pretending to be principled anymore
Karma police arrest this man
Radiohead has always stood against war. The song Sarah was donated to one of the save the children type organizations to raise money for refugees.
I'm very in support of Palestine and follow closely through independent media and encourage all to speak up in their behalf…harassing musicians that are not publicly announcing a stand is not supporting the Palestinian people, writing your representatives, speaking up in political arenas, boycotting and sending donations directly to aid organizations or the families themselves, is.
