Radiohead and The Smile frontman Thom Yorke left the stage after an encounter with pro-Palestine protestor in the audience of his Melbourne, Australia at Sidney Meyer Music Bowl. Yorke later returned to finish the set with the Radiohead song “Karma Police.”
“Why are you silent?” was the sentiment that Yorke was approached with during the concert. Radiohead’s long history with Israel has been criticized by many fans of the group. Guitarist/keyboardist Jonny Greenwood was criticized for his stance earlier this year.
