A Radiohead reunion could be edging closer after the band rehearsed in London during the northern summer. Login or signup to continue reading Bassist Colin Greenwood, 55, has confirmed the British rockers reunited in a rehearsal space "about two months ago". Speaking via video call at the Hay Festival Querétaro in Mexico at the weekend, he spilled: "We did some rehearsals about two months ago in London, just to play the old songs.
"And it was really fun, had a really good time." Around the same time of their rehearsal, Colin's brother and guitarist Jonny Greenwood was rushed to intensive care suffering an infection, forcing his band The Smile to postpone the European leg of their tour. The 52-year-old musician, who is also a keyboardist for the group and film score composer, was touring as part of the group – which he's in with fellow Radiohead singer Thom Yorke, 55, as well as 44-year-old Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner – when he fell severely sick.
A statement from The Smile issued on X on July 12 read: "A few days ago, Jonny became seriously ill from an infection that needed emergency hospital treatment, some of it in intensive care. "Mercifully he is now out of danger and will soon return home. "We have been instructed by the medical team in charge of Jonny's care to cancel all engagements until he has had time to make a full recovery.
"To that end, The Smile tour of Europe in August is cancelled. Refunds for headline shows will be available from your Ticket provi.
