Radiohead manager Bryce Edge has announced that tonight’s Radiohead show at the Rod Laver Arena has been cancelled.
Lead singer Thom Yorke complained of voice difficulties during last night’s concert and was barely able to finish the concert.
This morning he was attended by a Melbourne ear nose and throat specialist who diagnosed Thom with marked hoarseness of voice, a significant upper airway infection and associated heavy inflammation of his vocal chords. It was advised that if Thom was to sing in the next few days it could cause irreparable damage to his voice. Consequently and regrettably tonight’s concert had to be cancelled.
Thom and the band would like to apologise to all of their fans, they are aware that people have travelled from all over the country for tonight’s show and would like everybody to know that this decision was not taken lightly. The band want to thank all of their Australian fans for their support at this time.
Refunds are available at point of purchase.
