Radiohead's singer Thom Yorke left the stage after a dispute with a pro-Palestinian man in the audience during a solo concert in Melbourne, Australia on Wednesday.

How many dead children do you need to condemn the genocide in Gaza, the man screamed.

Yorke responded coldly that the man was ruining the evening for the other concert-goers and offered him to "get up" on stage and continued:

Don't stand there like a coward, come here and say it. You want to piss on everyone else's evening, Yorke said.

Then he left the stage while the audience booed. A few minutes later, the 56-year-old star returned and ended the evening with Radiohead's hit "Karma Police" from 1997.
