Thom Yorke has admitted that Radiohead have been on the verge of splitting on a number of ocassions.
The celestial singer says that at times the band have felt like not getting together after hiatuses.
But Yorke, who is nominated for the Mercury Music Prize with his solo effort вЂThe Eraser’, says that such ideas weren’t always started by himself.
Asked by Pitchfork whether there were moments when Radiohead didn’t feel like reconvening, he said: “Yeah, we have them all the time.
“It’d be deeply unhealthy if it weren’t like that. And that’s not just instigated by me. Sometimes people just have enough – they just can’t deal with it anymore.”
Yorke went on to hint that the band’s recent summer jaunt has helped bring them closer together, topped off by their appearance at Bonnaroo.
He said: “When we played Bonnaroo, we got such a nice vibe, a genuine good feeling from the first beat. Things like Bonnaroo give you hope that you can do it the other way.” В
