Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood has squashed any hopes of a reunion and new music from the band.
Since their critically-acclaimed ninth album, A Moon Shaped Pool, was launched in 2016, fans have been waiting years for new material from Radiohead. But with guitarist Jonny Greenwood, it seems like the future looks quite bleak.
According to an interview with NME, there are “no plans” for Radiohead’s reunion. As he confessed that rehearsals lately were “fun and natural,” he stressed that band members are busy with their side projects currently.
He and Jonny Greenwood recently issued the second of two albums with the ensemble they formed in 2018, The Smile. Greenwood scored the music for Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread, Spencer, and The Power of the Dog. This year, meanwhile, has brought work on film soundtracks followed by a stage adaptation of Radiohead’s album Hail to the Thief.
Of course, this sort of sad news shouldn’t stop fans from enjoying the enormous amount of their discography, including some of their former iconic albums, like OK Computer, Kid A, and In Rainbows. Plus, Colin Greenwood will have his photo book, How to Disappear: A Photographic Portrait of Radiohead, out on October 15th.
