Knebby Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 The drum tech was working for Clive Deamer, the current Radiohead drummer and former member of Robert Plant's Strange Sensation. RIP Scott Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 ^^^ Don't forget Portishead, too. Oh man, this is terrible news. I guess the only blessing is that it happened before they had let the fans in, thus minimizing the destruction. My first thought when I heard about it was the weather must have been a factor, but according to the above article, the weather was fine. I'm sure investigations will be made, including whether Toronto used union or non-union crews for the construction of the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
