#1 In 1997, Radiohead guitarist Thom Yorke had a mental breakdown. He left the band and escaped to find the right metaphor to express his anguish. He spent the next several years trying to disappear completely.

#2 Thom Yorke, the lead singer of Radiohead, found his fame to be a closed loop of omnipresent discomfort, perpetual awkwardness, and inescapable impotency.

#3 After the success of OK Computer, Radiohead began touring constantly. In 1995, they performed 179 shows, which meant a gig every other day somewhere in the world. Thom Yorke snapped and could not hear or respond to his bandmates.

#4 Radiohead was a band that didn’t have to show up for anything. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Thom Yorke didn’t show up because of a scheduling conflict with the debut of a piano piece he wrote for the Paris Philharmonic.
