Thom Yorke has spoken out after charges were stayed against parties allegedly involved in the 2012 death of a Radiohead drum technician, Scott Johnson, in a stage collapse. “Words utterly fail me,” Yorke wrote. He quoted a tweet by Caribou, who would have supported Radiohead at the Toronto concert where Johnson was killed. Caribou had tweeted, “(As someone who was standing behind this stage when it collapsed and would have been on it an hour later...) This is complete bullshit.” See their tweets below.

The case had targeted Live Nation, scaffolding company Optex Staging and Services, and engineer Domenic Cugliari under the province’s Occupational Health and Safety Act. The staying of the case means the charges are no longer going forward, though they could technically be revived within one year. The judge, Ann Nelson, ruled that the case’s many delays meant it had taken too long to come to trial, violating the trial time limits instituted by the Supreme Court of Canada in 2016.

“It is important to emphasize that timely justice is not just important to persons facing charges,” Nelson said in her ruling. “It is also important to our society at large.” She continued, “No doubt, this decision will be incomprehensible to Mr. Johnson’s family, who can justifiably complain that justice has not been done.” Even the lawyer for Live Nation—who deny all wrongdoing—called the ruling “brutal” for Johnson’s family, according to The Globe and Mail.
