Radiohead has postponed its December 1stโค and 2nd concerts in Copenhagen due to a severe throat infection affecting lead singer Thom Yorke, rendering him unable to perform. The band โannouncedโ that the shows โwill be rescheduled for Decemberโฃ 15th and 16th, with โexisting tickets automatically transferred to the โnew dates.
this postponement impacts fans eagerly anticipating radiohead’s return to the stage after aโข seven-year hiatus, marking their โfirstโ performances since 2018. The band is currently onโ a limited run of shows, with remaining dates โคin Copenhagenโค on December 4th and 5th, and a four-night engagement in berlin still scheduled – contingent on Yorke’s recovery. The incident underscores the fragility of live performance and the challenges faced by artists resuming touring after extended breaks.
radiohead expressed their disappointment, stating, “We โhave been so blown away by the audience reactions on these dates and are lovingโข being back on stage againโฆ Needless to say, we feel terrible that โwe have been forced to postpone these shows.”
Throughout the first twelve shows โขof the tour, โขRadiohead has performedโข aโ diverse setlist โof 45 songs, including rarely played tracks likeโ “Sit Down. Stand Up,” “Jigsaw Falling Into โคPlace,” and โ”(Nice Dream).”
in a recent interview with Theโข Sunday Times, Yorke reflected โฃon the band’s decision to pause touring prior to this run, explaining, “I โคguess the wheels came off a bit, so we had โto stopโฆ There were a lot of elements. The shows felt great butโค it was, like, let’s halt now before we walk off this cliff.”
