Radiohead has been forced to reschedule two shows on the band’s first concert tour in seven years over lead singer Thom Yorke’s health.
The English group postponed their Copenhagen shows on Dec. 1 and Dec. 2 after Yorke, 57, was came down with a throat infection that rendered his singing voice useless.
“We are devastated to have to postpone these two shows at such short notice but Thom has been diagnosed with an extreme throat infection which has made it impossible for him to sing,” Radiohead wrote on their website.
“Treatment is underway and we’re hopeful Thom will recover in time to play the final two Copenhagen shows on Dec 4th and 5th, and all four Berlin shows, starting on Dec 8th,” the band continued. “We have been so blown away by the audience reactions on these dates and are loving being back on stage again; needless to say, we feel terrible that we have been forced to postpone these shows.”
Radiohead’s Copenhagen shows have been rescheduled for Dec. 15 and 16. Tickets for the original shows will be automatically transferred to the new corresponding date.
Radiohead is a Grammy-winning art rock band known for their experimental, alternative sound on songs including the band’s 1992 debut single “Creep.” The single also served as their commercial breakthrough. The group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2019 and five of their albums have been named among Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
After a seven-year hiatus, Radiohead kicked off the band’s tour on Nov. 4 at Madrid’s Movistar Arena where they performed a 25-song set. The setlist included “No Surprises,” “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi,” “Idioteque,” “Fake Plastic Trees” and “Everything in Its Right Place,” according to videos posted on social media.
Radiohead will continue their European trek with several shows in Germany later this month. Tickets for the tour are sold out, but fans can buy them using reliable third-party ticket sellers such as StubHub, VividSeats and SeatGeek.
