News summary

During a solo performance in Melbourne, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke was confronted by a pro-Palestinian protester who criticized his silence on the Gaza conflict, prompting Yorke to challenge the heckler to speak on stage before walking off. This incident occurred while Yorke was performing 'Karma Police' and comes amid past controversies involving Radiohead's performances in Israel, which have been criticized by the Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions (BDS) movement. Yorke has previously defended his band's decision to play in Israel, distinguishing it from political endorsement. Despite the interruption, Yorke returned to the stage to complete his set. This confrontation has highlighted ongoing tensions surrounding artists performing in politically sensitive regions. Yorke's Australian tour continues with performances scheduled in Sydney.
