Radiohead have paid tribute to jazz star Humphrey Lyttelton who died last Friday.

Lyttelton, who presented the Radio 4 quiz I'm Sorry Haven't A Clue, guested on the band's track 'Life in a Glasshouse' on their 2001 Amnesiac album.

Guitarist Jonny Greenwood described Lyttelton as an "inspiring person" and urged fans to purchase his record Bad Penny Blues.

Writing on the band's website, Greenwood said: "We were all sorry to hear of Humphrey Lyttelton's death - he was an inspiring person to record with, and without his direction, we'd never have recorded/released 'Life in a Glasshouse'.

"So go and find Bad Penny Blues, and celebrate his life with some hot jazz."
