The Radiohead frontman, in Australia for a solo tour, has previously denounced the pro-Palestine BDS movement and defended his decision to play in Israel

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke walked off stage during a solo show in Melbourne on Wednesday night after being heckled by a pro-Palestine protester in the crowd.

Footage from concert-goers captured a man in the crowd yelling at Yorke. While it was difficult to hear his full comments, he said “the Israeli genocide of Gaza” and then referred to the death toll, saying that “half of them were children”.
