Radiohead lead singer heckled by pro-Palestinian ‘extremist’

Radiohead lead singer Thomas Yorke has walked off a Melbourne stage after being heckled by a pro-Palestinian “extremist”, according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
“The pro-Palestine cause it seems to have been an excuse for bullying and giving grief to other people,” Mr Bolt said.
“The lead singer of Radiohead walked off the stage at the band’s Melbourne concert last night when one pro-Palestine extremist started heckling.”

What kind of a muppet goes and pays for a show just to disrupt it.

Some people have no other meaning in their lives, so geopolitics becomes their entire identity and you're a bad person if you're not the same way. They'll even spend their own money to make sure you know you're a bad person.

Where was Security at the Concert?

[@telsutton]

The kind of fascist 'security' that Yorke had instructed to remove audience members with 'I STAND WITH PALESTINE' tee shiirts... Yorke is finished in the UK, critically. He's there with Queen and Status Quo in Sun City. I know people in the industry just waiting for this asshole's comeuppance, and it's finally here. A hypocrite, at best.

Well done Thom … he gave the heckler the offer of the stage, chose not to take it… coward

[@garmen-]

i think it’s pretty obvious thom didnt actually want the speaker to come up on the stage. the crowd immediately started shouting abuse at the heckler and thom stormed off the stage for 10 minutes, refusing to come back until the person was removed. i think the real coward here is the one who has spent the last 7 years dodging the question of palestine with his israeli wife rather than even take a proper stance on the issue, not the one trying to provoke him into actually saying what he really thinks.

So he knows the truth. By his logic, the he allies commited genocide when they killed millions of Germans in world war 2? Number of people does not equal genocide but that would require these a$$holes to have a proper education.

That’s narcissistic thinking. The pro “Palestinian” man is ruining the entire event for thousands, and you think this is ok?? You’re part of the problem. Palestine shoulda kicked Hamas out long ago, and now they are paying the price. Yorke aligns with most of these Lefty’s, so I don’t feel too badly for him; I feel badly for the audience. They are my fav band of all time even though their politics are WAY off. This is neither the time or place for this sh1t. If you don’t know better, remove yourself from society.

[@squared8290]

Good catch, probably jealous. I’ve been observing this pathological shift to the left in America both politically as well as culturally and I have found that there are only two types of people that support this trend, those that benefit from it professionally or economically and those that are just frankly incredibly unhappy and bitter and are low performers. The people that don’t have much going for them and the people that don’t have the strength to come up with a plan as to how to improve their lives go left. It’s really sad to see.

[@cugal1613]

What made them an ‘extremist’? Protesting? You may disagree with his views but it doesn’t make him an extremist.

[@stopspreadinghate]

Protesting after watching the entire show? What a hero. How is it Radioheads responsibility or duty to take a political position on this? I wish less people would have an opinion on a complex issue that they don't understand. Watching Legacy media and a few Tik Tok videos does not make one a geopolitical expert.

[@ericplaysbass]

[@two20john]

They've played there for over 20 years. How wonderful for them, to play, go, and enjoy their lives. Meanwhile, Palestinians have lived through 2 Intifadas and still are trapped and at the mercy of Israel. What it must be like to live with the threat of death, having power and food distribution at the hand of your oppressor, every moment of your life dictated by someone else. Best not tell Thom though...

The one news host is wrong if you as an artist choose to perform in certain places it does mean that you are supporting their government and their ideals. The real joke is they call this guy an extremist and try to make it a left right thing. Its got nothing to do with out stupid political games they are only used to distract from reallity. it is a genocide in Gaza. Plus Radiohead suck and have always sucked the bends was good after thatthey have been a pretty shitty band. With real terrible song arrangements.
