Radiohead respond to Miley Cyrus' rant, sort of

Thom Yorke alludes to teen star's temper tantrum

Media sources have been reporting that Radiohead responded to teen star Miley Cyrus, who lashed out at the band for snubbing her at the Grammy Awards last month.

In a recent radio interview, Cyrus vented her anger at her one-time "favourite" band after they allegedly turned down an invitation to meet her back stage at the Grammys. She said: "I left 'cause I was so upset. I wasn't going to watch. Stinkin' Radiohead! I'm gonna ruin them, I'm going to tell everyone."

According to E! Online, Radiohead responded to her remarks by saying, "When Miley grows up, she'll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement." As it turns out, the band's publicist reportedly issued the statement and not the band themselves.

However, in a posting yesterday (March 12) on Radiohead's Dead Air Space blog, frontman Thom Yorke alluded to the incident, saying: "Wish us all a safe journey if you still like us and you're not one of those people i have managed to offend by doing nothing xx"

Radiohead are about to embark on a tour of Central and South America with Kraftwerk.

Normally I'd have a problem with someone disappointing a 16-year-old who had her heart set on something. As Mr. Conductor would say, "Never disappoint a child." But it sounds like Miley (or her "people") didn't approach them with anything resembling tact. I donno. Sounds like both parties were rather rude in this situation. I wasn't there, so I don't know. I will say I don't think Miley's threats sound very serious.

who does she think she is?? the only people who would listen to her advice are little 8 year old girls who still buy lindsey lohan's singles. she should understand that radiohead probably only honour artists they respect and she is far far from that level of artistic integrity.
