News // Radiohead stage collapse victimizes band's drum tech

Last Saturday, June 16th, Scott Johnson was the victim of Radiohead's stage collapse. 

The band was going to perform in Toronto in Canada when only a hour before the door opening the stage collapsed - killing a man and leaving two other injured. 
Several people have already send their condolences to Scott's family, friends and people who directly worked with them.
Phil Selway left a message on Radiohead's website in name of the band: 

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.

Also several artists like Ronnie Vannucci from The Killers and Big Talk and Jack Lawrence-Brown from White Lies left their message on different social networks and Flaming Lips payed him a tribute on their live performance that night.

The band Keane - who previously worked with Scott - also left a message on their website

We lost our great friend Scott Johnson on Saturday. Scott has been part of our touring family since 2004, working as drum tech, stage manager, and studio tech, but he gave us so much more - he saw the good in everything. He was the cheerful, dependable guy you could always turn to, who lifted the spirits of everyone around him. We can't believe he's gone. Our thoughts are with his family and friends; Radiohead and their crew. We love you Scotty, we'll miss you.

All our thoughts go to his family, friends and people who were close to him.
