Thom Yorke to print Radiohead toilet paper

Thom Yorke is planning to have toilet paper made proclaiming Radiohead the "saviours of rock 'n' roll".

The 39-year-old star is so used to hearing critics and fans bestow the prestigious title on the band he wants to create his own unique tribute.

He said: "I've heard it said that we are the 'saviours of rock 'n' roll' so often I'm going to have it printed on toilet paper soon."

The frontman also revealed he can't believe the "fuss" created by the group's decision to let fans choose a price to download for their latest album 'In Rainbows', and insists it is all "rubbish".

He added to Britain's The Independent newspaper: "We would have never thought that the whole thing would create such a fuss. In Britain, it's all over the prime time news on the BBC, 60-year-old stock exchange tycoons are congratulating us on our fabulous business idea and cynics imply we plotted an ingenious advertising coup. That's all rubbish."

Yorke also claims the band have some "famous colleagues" who are eager to release their music in a similar format to 'In Rainbows'.

He said: "Everybody knew it would happen. We have some famous colleagues who had similar ideas for quite a while but they were contractually bound. We were lucky that our contract with EMI records had expired."

'In Rainbows' was released on CD and vinyl on New Year's Eve (31.12.07).
