On 16 June 2012, an hour before gates were due to open at Toronto’s Downsview Park for the final concert of Radiohead’s North American tour, the roof of the venue’s temporary stage collapsed , killing the drum technician Scott Johnson and injuring three other members of Radiohead’s road crew . After rescheduling the tour, Radiohead paid tribute to Johnson at their next concert, in Nîmes, France, in July. In June 2013, Live Nation Canada Inc, two other organisations and an engineer were charged with 13 charges under Ontario health and safety laws. In September 2017, after several delays, the case was dropped under the Jordan ruling , which sets strict time limits on trials. Radiohead released a statement condemning the decision. A 2019 inquest returned a verdict of accidental death .
