Scott Johnson, a drum tech for Radiohead, was killed on Saturday, June 16 when the roof of the stage at Downsview Park in Toronto collapsed. Three others were injured in the collapse.

"We have all been shattered by the loss of Scott Johnson, our friend and colleague," wrote Philip Selway, the group's drummer on their official webpage.

"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," he added.

The stage collapse, which took place as concertgoers were standing in line waiting for entrance, forced a cancelation of the show.

Canadian authorities are currently investigating its cause.
