Selway says the court case "broke down on a technicality”

Radiohead’s Philip Selway has given an update about the 2012 stage collapse that killed their drum tech, Scott Johnson.

The band were preparing to play a show at Downsview Park in Toronto when the roof of the stage collapsed on Johnson. The 33-year-old from Doncaster also worked with the likes of Keane and many other touring artists. Three other people were also injured.
