Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke walked off stage during a solo show in Melbourne on Wednesday night after being heckled by a pro-Palestine protester in the crowd. Radiohead has a long history with Israel, with their early hit Creep first finding success on Israeli radio, and the band has performed in the country throughout their career.
