Thom Yorke's letters to fans from 1994 and 1996 are published

The website Letters of Note has published two handwritten letters Thom Yorke sent to fans, and Music Feeds has printed both in full. The first, dated 23 March 1994, was written in the control room at RAK in London, where Radiohead were recording for The Bends.

The fan had framed some of the band's T-shirts, which earned a joke about Radiohead plectrums ending up framed on café walls around the world.

The second letter, dated 20 May 1996, is on the correspondence letterhead of W.A.S.T.E., the band's mail-order and fan club, and went to a young fan in the United States. Yorke hopes she gets her wish to leave her home town and travel, and tells her that the worst feeling in the world is not thinking anybody else feels the same as you¹, but that more people feel it than she would guess. He signs both replies in lower case, as “thom”.
