Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke storms off stage after clashing with ‘coward’ anti-Israel protester

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke stormed off the show after confronting an anti-Israel protester, calling the scoundrel a “coward” who should come on stage and tell him so to his face.

The British rocker was confronted by a protester at the end of his solo show in Melbourne on Wednesday night when an unidentified man insulted him for not condemning the “Israeli genocide of Gaza”, footage from other concertgoers showed.

“Come over here and say it right now,” Yorke, 56, replied as fans cheered for the singer.

“Get on the damn stage and say what you want to say. Don’t stand there like a coward, come here and say it.”

“Come on. Do you want to see everyone in the evening? Okay, yeah, see you later then,” he added.

The indie rocker then abruptly removed his guitar and left the stage, as can be seen in the footage.

Confused fans could be heard shouting “No!” and “We love you Tom” as they silenced a protester.

One angry fan raged at a protester: “Shut the hell up man.”

The full extent of the protester’s remarks were not clear from the clip, but he could be heard shouting about the “Israeli genocide of Gaza” and asking “how many dead children will it take.”

One concert-goer told the BBC that security pulled the miscreant out, but he continued to chat with people outside the venue.

Meanwhile, Yorke returned minutes later to sing the final song, Radiohead’s 1997 hit “Karma Police.”

York, as well as his Radiohead bandmates, endured heat in the past for refusing to cancel a 2017 show in Tel Aviv — despite calls for a boycott from the pro-Palestinian campaign of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

“An awful lot of people, including us, disagree with the BDS movement. I don’t agree with the cultural ban at all,” York Rolling Stone said at the time.

“I would never dream of telling (people) where to work, what to do or think. . . It is profoundly disrespectful to assume that we are either being misinformed or that we are so backward that we cannot make these decisions for ourselves. I thought it was extremely disrespectful.”
