Before people shit on Yorke:

Yorke was playing a show in Melbourne, Australia, as part of a solo tour when, according to multiple videos recorded by concertgoers, a man yelled: "Do you condemn the Israeli genocide of Gaza? Already 200,000 [dead], half of them children."

I would have been pissed off at that shit too. Does every entertainer you see have to start their show with a condemnation of Israeli genocide?

It's Thom York, not Joe Biden.

Could he not just have ignored it? Or had security get them out?

I guess if it was a really small gig then maybe not, but it seems like derailing the gig was giving the jeckler the attention and headline they wanted, no?

He didn't leave and never come back. He just walked off to show the person what a douchebag they were being. Then he came back.

Edit: Here's video (which for some reason shows the end before looping back and showing the start). He literally gave the person a chance to get up on stage and say what they had to say and they wouldn't, so he lost his temper and walked off stage. I honestly do not blame him- https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/oct/31/thom-yorke-walks-off-stage-after-being-heckled-by-pro-palestine-heckler-at-melbourne-concert

Fair enough then. I read as he came back and did one song and that was it. Thank you for your clarification. 👍

Yorke isn't the type to ignore something like that, he takes his ethics very seriously
