Phil Selway Speaks Out Over Mother's Death

Phil Selway of Radiohead has spoken out about the loss of a close family member.

The drummer with the indie giants has thanked fans of Radiohead for all the support they've offered after the death of his mother.

Selway posted a message on the band's official forum:

"Thanks to everyone for their messages of condolence and support over the past few weeks - they really have been a great help.

"I have also really appreciated the respectful silence on DAS...well, it's either that or nobody's had anything to say for a week and a half which, in my experience, is unlikely. See you in America."

As a result of the death, Radiohead were forced to cancel a gig in Amsterdam but were able to complete the rest of their UK tour dates.
