Thom Yorke refused McCartney duet

Sir Paul McCartney has revealed that Radiohead's frontman Thom Yorke once turned down an offer to record a duet with him.

The Beatles legend revealed that his suggestion that they make a record together had been rejected because Yorke was disinclined to make music with anyone other than his band. However, he did duet with PJ Harvey in 2000.

McCartney told T4: "My daughter was putting an album together and she put us in touch. I asked Thom to do a duet, but he said he couldn't because he only felt happy working on his own and Radiohead's material."
