"I managed to beat a tactful retreat": the fan request that shocked Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood

Radiohead in 1997.

Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood has done a number of interviews for his ace recent photography book How To Disappear: A Photographic Portrait Of Radiohead and recently embarked on a book tour in which a group of fans managed to shock him with a request - more on that below. They also kept asking the same question wherever he went: when will Radiohead tour again? In an interview with today’s edition of The New Cue, Greenwood said he’d love for 2025 to be the year that the Oxford art-rockers finally broke a hiatus that stretches back to 2018. The bassist elaborated on something he’d said in a previous interview where he’d revealed that Radiohead had got together in the summer for a rehearsal.

“That was really just to check in,” he says. “It was a bit like taking the old car out for a run before putting it back in the garage… it meant that the next time you took it out, the wheels wouldn’t fall off. It was really nice to see everyone and it was all very amiable and cordial.”
