Expert: Gabe Johnson Date: 5/2/2004 Subject: Tom Yorke's eye
Question Hello from Slovenia!
I'm a newly-born Radiohead fan and I'm wondering what's wrong with Thom's eye. Did he have some sort of accident?
By the way - do you maybe have an idea if Radiohead is planning European tour, if so - when?
Thanks a lot!
Answer Tanya,
Thom's lazy eye was not caused by an accident, in fact, it is a birth defect. When Thom was younger he went through a grueling amount of expensive procedures to correct his lazy eye - it was actually worse then. He finally gave up, but that was long ago.
As per a European tour, Radiohead has claimed nothing. So far, the final show they officially reported was done Saturday at The Coachella Festival in California, USA. If they are "planning" a European tour, it has obviously not been planned enough to report to the public.
I hope I've been a help to you, and thanks for the interest!
