Yorke: 'I'm not good enough for McCartney'
Radiohead's Thom Yorke has claimed that he isn't good enough to play piano for Paul McCartney.

The former Beatle had asked Yorke to guest on 'Mr Bellamy', a track from his recent Memory Almost Full LP.

However, Yorke claims he was forced to turn down the offer because his musical skills weren't up to scratch.

He told the Observer: "I can’t play piano. Not like that. I had to explain to him that, I listened to the tune - 'Mr Bellamy' - and I really liked the song, but the piano playing involved two hands doing things separately.

"I don’t have that skill available. I said to him, 'I strum piano, that’s it'."
