Radiohead havepostponed part of their European tour, following a stage collapse in Torontowhich killed a crew member and injured three others.
Astatement on the band's website said the group were still "dealingwith the grief and shock" from the accident which killed technician ScottJohnson.
The collapse caused serious damage to equipment whichwould "take many weeks to replace", the statement continued.
Seven shows in Italy, Germany and Switzerland havebeen postponed.
The band will resume their tour on 10 July in Nimes.New dates for the cancelled shows are expected to be announced on 27 June.
"Whilst we all are dealing with the grief andshock ensuing from this terrible accident, there are also many practicalconsiderations to deal with," the statement said.
"The collapse also destroyed the light show -this show was unique and will take many weeks to replace."
The band said its backline set-up - a term thatrefers to amplifiers that typically sit at the back of the stage - had alsobeen seriously damaged "some elements of which are decades old andtherefore hard to replace".
Canadian authorities have launched an investigationinto the collapse at Downsview Park, which happened last weekend approximatelyan hour before the band were due on stage.
