Radiohead guitarist 'seriously ill' in intensive care as band cancels tour


Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood has been rushed to hospital after suffering an infection and his band The Smile have been forced to cancel their European tour

The 52 year old musician, also famed for his film score compositions, was touring with Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke, 55, and Sons of Kemet's dynamic drummer Tom Skinner, 33, when he was struck down by an infection. In a heartfelt statement released on Friday, 12 July, The Smile shared: "A few days ago, Jonny became seriously ill from an infection that needed emergency hospital treatment, some of it in intensive care." Radiohead, a band with over thirty years of history, and The Smile, with two UK top 10 albums 'A Light for Attracting Attention' and 'Wall of Eyes' under their belt, are both looking forward to having Jonny back in action.
