Thom Yorke in Glastonbury (2006)

Trivia

Thom Yorke

  • Worked as an orderly in a mental hospital.
  • Was rated Number 15 for Rolling Stone's Top 50 Rock Bands (2001) of all time.
  • Most Radiohead songs originate with his melodies and ideas which are then expanded upon by him and the rest of the band.
  • New album "In Rainbows" was released in 2007, employing a new method of distribution: the record is only available from www.Radiohead.com, and the fans can pick the price. Traditional CD release expected next year, in early 2008.
  • In February 2001, girlfriend Rachel Owens gave birth to Thom's first child, Noah. Daughter Agnes born October 2004.
  • His album "Hail to the Thief" was bootlegged two months prior to its release, which is a record. Despite suggestions to release the album earlier to counteract against piraters, it was released at the scheduled time and hit number 2 of the charts, which proves that major bootlegging did not drastically affect an album's success.
  • Supplied his voice to the film Velvet Goldmine (1998). His voice is used as Brian Slade's in two of the songs performed in the film. In Bittersweet and 2HB, both Roxy Music covers.
  • Opened for Alanis Morissette.
  • The Radiohead albums 'The Bends' (1995) and 'OK Computer' (1997) are considered seminal works of the 1990s. Yorke is the band's lead singer, guitarist/keyboardist, and songwriter.
  • Daughter Agnes born October 2004
  • Thom has had surgery multiple times on his left eye since childhood. None of them have worked completely (obviously).
