West Palm Beach, FL (CNS) - Radiohead is making their support for Tibet loud and clear during their opening concert of their world tour in Florida on Monday by decorating the stage with Tibetan flags.

The British rockers certainly wanted everyone to know they protest against China's human rights record in Tibet. They decorated the whole stage of the Cruzan Amphitheatre with the Asian nation's flag to express their support for the Tibetan people.

Tibet had lost their independence to China in 1951. The Chinese government has come under fire over the Tibetan issue in the recent months citing lack of human rights to the Tibetan people.

The alternative rock band has been an active campaigner of their political beliefs and environmental causes.
