A friend accidentally asked him for a cigarette lighter once at the kid’s field in Glastonbury (not sure what she as doing there as she had none). Obv she meant to ask for a light, just didn’t realise that she was asking Thom fucking Yorke.
He provide the light, she apologised and said she hadn’t realised who he was. Apparently he was cool about it, although not that talkative and just asked her “please don’t tell anyone I’m here”.
