Radiohead Thank Washington Fans For Enduring 'Biblical' Weather

Radiohead have sent out a message to their American fans thanking them for turning out despite horrendous weather in Washington.
The Oxford band’s show at the Nissan Pavilion was hit by a torrential downpour, which the band joked bordered on the biblical.
Writing on their Dead Air Space, bassist Colin Greenwood said: “To everyone who made it, and put up with the torrents on the lawn, and came early to catch the Liars and our show, thank you so much for braving the deluge.
“I hope you heard what you came for, the music and lights diverting you from the wet.”
Some fans were delayed in getting to the show after nearby roads were flooded in the downpour, while those who made it to the stadium had to endure the adverse conditions.
It’s the third time Radiohead have been blighted by bad weather in the American capital. Seven years ago they had to cancel two shows at the Bull Run Park because of flooding, while in 1998 the RFK Stadium was hit by lightning ahead of the Tibetan Freedom Concert held there.
Colin ended his post: “We've had floods at Bull Creek, lightning at the RFK stadium, so there must be some kind of Biblical fix between us and DC. Frogs next time?”
