Radiohead have postponed two dates of their ongoing European tour while Thom Yorke recovers from an “extreme throat infection.” The performances, originally scheduled for tonight (December 1) and tomorrow at the Royal Arena in Copenhagen, Denmark, will now take place on December 15 and 16. Two additional shows at the same venue are set to go on as planned this Thursday (December 5) and Friday (December 6).
“We are devastated to have to postpone these two shows at such short notice but Thom has been diagnosed with an extreme throat infection which has made it impossible for him to sing,” Radiohead wrote in a statement on Instagram. “We have been so blown away by the audience reactions on these dates and are loving being back on stage again; needless to say, we feel terrible that we have been forced to postpone these shows.”
Radiohead kicked off their first run of shows since 2018 last month. In August, they surprise-released their second official live album, Hail to the Thief (Live Recordings 2003-2009). That same month, Radiohead scored their fourth-ever hit on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart with “Let Down,” an album track from 1997’s OK Computer.
