British band Keane have paid tribute to Scott Johnson, the stage technician who was killed when stage collapsed before a Radiohead gig in Toronto last Saturday. Johnson had worked with Keane, as well as other bands like White Lies, before the accident.
The band wrote on their official website: "Scott has been part of our touring family since 2004, working as drum tech, stage manager, and studio tech, but he gave us so much more - he saw the good in everything. He was the cheerful, dependable guy you could always turn to, who lifted the spirits of everyone around him. We can't believe he's gone. Our thoughts are with his family and friends; Radiohead and their crew. We love you Scotty, we'll miss you."
Three others, all of whom were involved in setting up the stage, were injured in the accident.
