British rockers Radiohead have had their request to perform two concerts in Chicago, Illinois' Millennium Park denied, so a local orchestra can rehearse.

Concert promoters acting on behalf of the Paranoid Android stars approached city bosses to propose two gigs at the park's Jay Pritzker Pavilion on 19 and 20 June, but were turned away because the Grant Park Symphony Orchestra is practicing on the second date.

Former Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid has covered Radiohead’s ‘National Anthem’ on his next record.

Reid has completed his second Vernon Reid & Masque album for Steve Vai’s Favoured Nations Records. It will be his third album outside Living Colour, the band which he still considers his “mothership”.

The new record ‘Other True Self’ will also feature covers of The Tony Williams Lifetime’s “Wild Life,” and Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence”.

The rest of the album will feature Reid originals as well as songs written by Masque members Leon Gruenbaum and Don McKenzie.
