Radiohead won't repeat 'In Rainbows' release

Band say pay-what-you-like system won't happen again

Radiohead have said that they won't let fans can choose how much to pay to download their new album, like they did with their most recent record 'In Rainbows'.

Frontman Thom Yorke told Hollywood Reporter that the release style was a "one-off", hinting that future Radiohead would be released in a more traditional way.

"I think it [letting fans choose how much to pay] was a one-off response to a particular situation," he said. "It was one of those things where we were in the position of everyone asking us what we were going to do.

"I don't think it would have the same significance now anyway, if we chose to give something away again. It was a moment in time."
