News summary

Thom Yorke, the frontman of Radiohead, walked off stage during a solo performance in Melbourne after a pro-Palestinian heckler criticized him for his silence on the war in Gaza. The confrontation occurred as Yorke began to play his song 'Karma Police', with the heckler shouting about the high death toll in Gaza, including many children. Yorke challenged the heckler to come on stage and express his views directly, labeling him a 'coward' for heckling from the crowd. Following an expletive-laden exchange, Yorke left the stage briefly, but returned shortly after to continue his performance. This incident has reignited discussions about Radiohead's past performances in Israel and the backlash the band has faced from Palestinian activists. Critics, including the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions movement, have accused the band of 'art-washing' amid the ongoing conflict.
