Thom Yorke Attributes Rock Hall of Fame Absence to “Drunken Car Crash”

Thom Yorke the iconic frontman of Radiohead has shed light on the band’s surprising absence from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In a candid interview, Yorke jokingly attributed the snub to a “drunken car crash” involving a key member of the Hall of Fame’s voting committee.

Yorke’s Humorous Explanation

When asked about Radiohead’s omission from the Rock Hall, Yorke quipped, “I think it’s because one of the voters was involved in a drunken car crash, and they just didn’t get round to voting for us.” While Yorke’s remark was clearly tongue-in-cheek, it highlights the band’s ambivalence towards industry accolades.

Radiohead’s Complicated Relationship with Awards

Radiohead has long been known for their disdain towards mainstream music awards. In 2016, the band was nominated for the Rock Hall, but they declined to attend the ceremony. Yorke’s recent comments suggest that the band’s attitude towards these institutions remains unchanged.
