Thom Yorke tells a school textbook the music business will fold in months

Thom Yorke has told a school textbook that the established music business is about to fold. It will be only a matter of time - months rather than years - before the music business establishment completely folds.¹

The book is The Rax Active Citizenship Toolkit by Jamie Kelsey-Fry, written to help 15- and 16-year-olds become politically literate and due out on 1 July. Ms Dynamite and the broadcaster Jon Snow are interviewed in it too.

Radiohead's deal with EMI ended in 2007, after six studio albums, and they put out In Rainbows themselves that October. Yorke tells young musicians to keep clear of the old business, and says its end would be no great loss to the world².
