Boyzone Blast Radiohead

added 11 January 2010 at 15.47

Is Thom Yorke the scourge of the pop star? Quite likely. Not content with starting a beef with Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus last year, the Radiohead frontman has now upset the torpor-inducing Boyzone mainman, Ronan Keating.

In an interview with The Guardian, Keating recalled a meeting with Yorke in Dublin:

“He was incredibly rude and I will never forgive him”, fumed the Boyzone star.

While the exact reason for the snub wasn’t revealed, speculation grows (in the Xfm office) that it surrounded the inclusion of obscure Radiohead b-side ‘You Never Wash Up After Yourself’ on Keating’s latest album, ‘Songs For My Mother’. Whatever the reason, Ronan isn’t happy.

"I was a big Radiohead fan and I still really like the music. I went up and said hello and he just grunted and walked off. I thought, whatever, God love you."

1. I don't think Thom will loose any sleep whatsoever..... & nor will anyone else that LISTENS to Radiohead music. I suggest Roland (I'll be your friend!) slips back into the shadows, shuts up and be grateful he never ended up working in a sausage factory. True love waits, as we all know.....

7. That's old news. Keating still talking about it, he must be desperate for attention because the snub happened years ago, waaaaay before the Jack Black snub, the Stereophonics snub, and the Hannah Montana/Kanye West Grammy snub. That's Thom Yorke. THOM YORKE! The whole world knows he is a freak. Incredibly talented, but a freak. Or a creep. Whatever. No big deal, he wouldn't be so great if he wasn't that way.
