Don’t be hopeful for a Radiohead reunion – because Thom Yorke “doesn’t really give a f**k”Hopeful for a Radiohead reunion? We wouldn’t be: Thom Yorke says he doesn’t “really give a flying fuck”.
Speculation and hype began to swirl recently when Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood revealed the band had got together for some rehearsals in the summer, saying they “played the old songs, and it was really fun. I had a really good time”.

But now Thom Yorke has taken the wind out the sails of such hopeful fans by telling Australian publication Double J that he doesn’t care about a reunion right now, using some rather choice words.
“No offence to anyone and err, thanks for caring,” he says [via NME]. “But I think we’ve earned the right to do what makes sense to us without having to explain ourselves or be answerable to anyone else’s historical idea of what we should be doing.”
While some fans might be disappointed, they also might not be surprised; back in May, guitarist Jonny Greenwood spoke with The Guardian, where he said he and his Radiohead bandmates were busy working on their individual projects, and how he and Thom Yorke were busy touring with The Smile.
“We’re still talking all the time, we just need to make a plan and get some time together sorted out in advance,” he said at the time. “I’ve never been very good at that. Too busy dicking around in this studio.”
In other news, The Smile’s third studio album Cutouts arrives earlier this month. Listen to its opening track Foreign Spies below:
