Radiohead's stage collapsed on June, 16 in Toronto - an hour before the gates opened to the public and queues were already forming outside the venue.Sadly there's a victim: the band's drum technician, Scott Johnson (33), who was killed by the roof falling on him. Three more people are injured, with one reported to be in a serious condition.
40,000 people were expected to attend the sold-out show in the Canadian city. Police are now investigating the cause of the stage collapse and have appealed for witnesses to come forward to speak to them.

In the meantime Radiohead's drummer Philip Selway has released his own official statement on what happened: "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. Our thoughts and love are with Scott's family and all those close to him".
