Radiohead guitarist 'cancelled' for playing with Israeli musician
The Guardian
|May 07, 2025
After the cancellation of two UK performances with the Israeli musician Dudu Tassa, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood has said that they "dread the weaponisation of this cancellation by reactionary figures as much as we lament its celebration by some progressives".
In a statement, Greenwood and Tassa said that venues in London and Bristol as well as "their blameless staff" had received enough credible threats to conclude that it was not safe to proceed with the gigs.
"Intimidating venues into pulling our shows won't help achieve the peace and justice everyone in the Middle East deserves," they said. "This cancellation will be hailed as a victory by the campaigners behind it, but we see nothing to celebrate and don't find that anything positive has been achieved."
