Colin Greenwood is to judge a competition to find the best English poets of the next generation.
The band members met when they were all pupils at Abingdon School. Mr Greenwood who lives in Oxford went on to read English at Peterhouse College Cambridge.
He will join Poet Laureate Andrew Motion, poets Simon Armitage and Bernardine Evaristo, and broadcaster James Naughtie in a panel selecting the most exciting poets to have emerged in the past ten years. The New Generation poets will be announced on June 1 by the Poetry Book Society.
