Thom Yorke, lead singer of Radiohead and The Smile, abruptly walked off stage during his solo concert in Melbourne, Australia, on Wednesday night after having a heated exchange with an audience member, who interrupted the show to voice his opposition to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.<\/span><\/p>\n

During a pause between songs at Yorke\u2019s second sold-out show at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl, an audience member shouted at him as he stood on stage, as seen in a TikTok video taken during the incident. The audience member claimed, without evidence, that 200,000 people have already been killed in the Gaza Strip, half of them children. He yelled at the British rocker, \u201cHow can you be silent? How many dead children will it take for you to condemn the genocide in Gaza?\u201d as seen in footage obtained by The Age.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yorke responded, \u201cHop up on the f\u2014king stage and say what you wanna say. Don\u2019t stand there like a coward, come here and say it. You wanna piss on everybody\u2019s night? OK, you do. See you later, then.\u201d He then took off his guitar and left the stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other members of the audience then began booing, shouting at the anti-Israel protester and expressing frustration after Yorke walked off stage. They also chanted for Yorke, and a few minutes later he returned to perform the night\u2019s final song, the Radiohead hit \u201cKarma Police,\u201d according to The Age.<\/span>
