Thom Yorke: The biography


(Thursday January 22, 2009 11:00 AM)

Thom Yorke is to be the subject of an unofficial and unauthorised biography, it has been announced.

Neither the singer or his band have collaborated on a book about their groundbreaking career as yet.

"Thom Yorke: Radiohead & Trading Solo" is due for release next month and is said to have delved deeply into the star's background.

Publishers Independent Music Press confirmed news of this biography, written by Trevor Baker, this week in a statement.

"From the formative childhood experiences as a public school outcast that first shaped his songs to each Radiohead album - from his perspective - as well as his solo work and his expansive charitable and ecological campaigns.

"'Thom Yorke: Radiohead & Trading Solo' provides a fascinating portrait of a band and a man who would never settle for second best", it reads.

The book is due for release on February 26.
