Radiohead have suffered a set back after the tragic stage collapse incident that claimed the life of their friend and drum tech earlier this month in Toronto. The U.K. band was forced to postpone several European tour dates that immediately followed the June 16 show, but have now announced the rescheduled itinerary.

Radiohead are going to need some time for themselves. The band, still mourning the loss of drum technician Scott Johnson as a result of last Saturday’s stage collapse in Toronto, is postponing several stops on its upcoming summer European tour due to production issues.

Canadian officials have begun sorting out the cause of the stage collapse that caused one fatality and injured several onlookers at a Radiohead concert over the weekend, with the band’s touring company one of several organizations under scrutiny.

It’s a sad time in Radiohead as the band deals with the death of their drum tech, Scott Johnson, who was killed over the weekend during the collapse of their stage while setting up for their Saturday show in Toronto. Three other crew members were injured.

The victim of the disastrous stage collapse that took place at Radiohead‘s planned Saturday (June 16) performance in Toronto has been revealed as the British alt-rockers’ own drum tech, Scott Johnson.

Radiohead haven’t been shy about treating audiences to new material during their latest run of tour dates, and their stop in Cincinnati, Ohio on Tuesday (June 5) was no exception: the band unveiled another new song, ‘Full Stop,’ and a pair of fan-made recordings have already made their way to the web.

In a bout of pixelated perfection, a YouTube user has uploaded 8-bit versions of two of contemporary rock’s most landmark albums: Radiohead‘s ‘OK Computer’ and ‘Kid A.’

While Radiohead are busy road testing new material on their current tour (and prompting speculation about their next album), guitarist Jonny Greenwood has scored (Get it? Scored? Ha ha ha) his first solo hit on the U.K. classical charts.

Recently, two rare 1986 recordings from Radiohead’s early days surfaced online. The two songs — ‘Girl (in the Purple Dress)’ and ‘Everybody Knows’ — were recorded six years before the band’s full-length debut album ‘Pablo Honey’ was released.

Last month, Radiohead drummer Phil Selway told reporters that the band’s surprise set at this year’s Glastonbury festival had reawakened their enthusiasm for performing live. It looks like he really meant what he said. In fact, according to singer Thom Yorke, fans can expect a full-fledged tour next year, as well as a new album from his side project, Atoms for Peace.

Radiohead’s appearance on ‘The Colbert Report’ next Monday is such a big deal that for the first time ever the Comedy Central talk show will run an hour, instead of its traditional 30 minutes. During the show, the band will play songs from its latest album ‘The King of Limbs,’ while also debuting a new track. In addition to Radiohead’s performance, there will be interviews, as well as regular ‘Col

When we last checked in with Jim Carrey, he was declaring his love for Emma Stone in a creepy but hilarious video. So it was probably appropriate that Carrey sung ‘Creep,’ Radiohead’s ode to awkward longing, when he crashed New York City club Arlene’s Grocery’s Friday karaoke party.
