Colin Greenwood tells The Mercury that on Radiohead's previous Australian tour the band were locked out of their dressing room at the Sydney Entertainment Centre by Mariah Carey, who was playing the venue the night after them and had claimed the room in advance.
She could have been in there, and that would have been good, if she was locked in.

The band are in Australia for their third tour there, with two nights in Sydney this weekend and Melbourne on Monday.
Almost a year after Hail to the Thief, all five of them are fathers; Thom Yorke's first child was born in 2001.
Yes, we're maturing, like old cheeses, left on a shelf where someone comes along and takes a pole out to see how mouldy you've got.
