In November 2025, Radiohead surprised everyone with a return tour, their first in nearly a decade after quietly slipping away in August of 2018. What was behind this departure was a blend of grief, controversy, and the feeling that they had pushed themselves too far. Thom Yorke’s previous partner and the mother of his children had passed earlier that year, a continuing controversy behind a 2017 performance in Tel Aviv kept rearing its ugly head, and the other members, Colin and Jonny Greenwood, Phil Selway, and Ed O’Brien, seemed to feel they’d had enough. It’s time to look back over the past decade… Radiohead’s Lost Decade.
