'I toured with Radiohead at the height of their fame and this fact about Thom Yorke will really surprise you'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Radiohead fans are buzzing at the news the band are reported to be hitting the road in 2025. The dates and locations haven’t been released yet, and nothing’s been confirmed, but eagle eyed members of the group’s loyal army of followers across the world have put two and two together and you can read all about that here.If the rumours are true, it’ll be the first UK tour for Radiohead in seven years, and if they head to Scotland, it'll be something of a homecoming.

As I exclusively revealed back in the 90s - frontman Thom Yorke has a close connection with the country, as he spent a period of his childhood in a Fife village.

His unlikely upbringing in Scotland first came to light when the Record caught up with the singer and the band at the height of fame in Philadelphia in 1996, before heading out with the band on their US tour.And my initial encounter with Thom was the biggest surprise of all, as I introduced myself having met him only once before briefly and he told me: “I’m not completely, glaikit”.Born blind, Thom revealed he couldn't fully enjoy his days on the beach near Kirkcaldy, and had to endure a series of ground-breaking operations to save his sight.He told me: "I was born with both eyes closed and one eye paralysed."I lived in Lundin Links between the age of two months and seven years old.

I'd go down to the beach every day and all I remember is the incredible brightness of it all."My eyes were ultra-sensitive to light and I used to keep bumping into things.
