Radiohead have paid tribute to the tragic crew member who died after a stage collapsed ahead of their show on Saturday night.
The band was scheduled to play at Downsview Park in Toronto, Canada but the venue's structure collapsed in the afternoon, killing drum technician Scott Johnson.
The devastated group cancelled the concert, and drummer Philip Selway posted their condolences on their official website, writing, "We have all been shattered by the loss of Scott Johnson, our friend and colleague. He was a lovely man, always positive, supportive and funny; a highly skilled and valued member of our great road crew.
"We will miss him very much. Our thoughts and love are with Scott's family and all those close to him."
Three other people were injured by the structural collapse - a man was hospitalised with a head injury and two others were treated at the scene.

Johnson, 33, had toured with other bands including Keane, Portishead and The Charlatans.
Radiohead's website had listed the concert as being sold out, with 40,000 tickets sold.
There have been a number of concert stage collapses in recent years.
Last year, one person died and several people were injured in July when the stage went down at Bluesfest in Ottawa, Canada.
In 2009 one person died and more than a dozen were injured when a powerful windstorm caused the main stage to collapse at the Big Valley Jamboree near Camrose.
Six people died last August when the stage collapsed at a Sugarland concert in Indianapolis; five died in Belgium when a storm swept in and toppled the stage at the Pukkelpop Festival.
