Radiohead dedicate OKNOTOK to Rachel Owen
Radiohead have dedicated OKNOTOK 1997 2017, the reissue of OK Computer that comes out tomorrow, to the memory of Rachel Owen. The dedication is printed on the back sleeve of the vinyl, and a fan with an early copy posted a photograph of it on 19 June. This re-issue is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Rachel Owen (1968-2016) who died after a long and brave battle with cancer.
