Religion has often tied the music industry to Satan and devil worshipping, so perhaps the usage of Thom Yorke in a social media post by a Christian group that warns against Satan shouldn’t come as a surprise.
In a Twitter post by The New Generation For God, the “eight things that Satan uses to enslave you and destroy you” are listed on an image of Yorke, with each item (including pornography, atheism, idolatry, and drugs) pointing at the Radiohead frontman, as NME reports.

According to the Christian group’s site, they “dream with returning the supernatural power of God to the streets [by] establishing Refuges and Counseling Integral Centers for radically help and bless all prostitute, alcoholic, transvestite, homosexual, lesbian, and drug addict with the Supernatural Love of JESUS.”
Whether or not the NGG deems using the likeness of celebrities a sin, Radiohead fans are having a bit of fun with the image.
When not posing as the posterboy of sin, Thom Yorke and the rest of Radiohead have been asking their fans to help them create a new set of visuals for A Moon Shaped Pool highlight, “Daydreaming.” The contest asks fans to create a minute-long clip to accompany a minute-long string version of the single.
The deadline for the contest is July 30, and the winning clip will be posted on the band’s website. Download the audio and the terms and conditions of the contest here.
