2 Comments on Flea: “Thom Yorke is a Beautiful Man”

Red Hot Chili Peppers’ bassist Flea thinks Thom Yorke is a swell guy and a huge inspiration to him. Flea, along with with drummer Joey Waronker, Mauro Refosco, and producer Nigel Godrich, were all part of Thom’s supergroup, Atoms for Peace, which performed shows last year.

“It influenced me being around Thom,” Flea explained. “He’s an unbelievably great musician and a beautiful man. He’s so pure as an artist. It’s less that I would try to copy him and more that just being around someone who channels really powerful energy is beneficial.

“It’s a relationship I will always hope to nurture.”

Thom Yorke surprised many today by handing out copies of the Radiohead’s newspaper, The Universal Sigh, in person today in London.

A huge queue of people lined up outside London’s Rough Trade East this afternoon to try and get a copy of the free publication.

At one point, Thom stepped out of the record store and began handing out the papers to fans to the surprise of everyone.
