All posts, pictures and details from Radiohead’s Twitter and Facebook accounts were deleted, along with tweets by lead singer Thom Yorke.

Recently, some Radiohead fans in Britain have received a mysterious leaflet in the post which said: Sing The Song Of Sixpence That Goes Burn The Witch We Know Where You Live. It was embossed with a logo associated with the band.

Radiohead is to give a series of concerts in six cities around the world from May 20 and will play eight festivals later in the year.
