Since the stage collapsed at Toronto's Downsview Park, Radiohead had to sort out the European tour dates.  The deadly accident injured 3 and killed 1, their drum tech Scott Johnson.

The band grieved over the loss of their friend and drum tech and paid tribute to him via a statement on their website.  

It read: "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"

Many items were damaged that is crucial for their performances, including the light show that was uniquely made for the band's show.  The replacement takes weeks, therefore the tour dates all have to be postponed.  Some of the damaged parts are "hard to replace" according to a statement made by the band.

The new dates for their European shows will be announced by June 27th.
