Demand for Radiohead album crashes site

The group announced that their fans could pre-order the new LP In Rainbows from their website for whatever price they wanted to pay.
But the demand was so high from British and American fans that it caused the site to stop working.
Guitarist Jonny Greenwood said: "It's getting busy in there, busier than they expected.
"So, if you please bear with us, it should get cleared out soon. I sound like a bouncer. Get behind the rope. No denim. Thanks for your patience with the site and interest in the record."
Most people have now stopped trying to download the album for a low price and have been pre-ordering a discbox version of the album instead.
Earlier this week Radiohead revealed after some speculation that they would be releasing the new album under a record label.
