Keating blasts "idiot" Thom Yorke

Ronan Keating has described Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke as the rudest popstar he's ever met.

Speaking to Metro, the Boyzone singer recalled an encounter with Yorke at a hotel in Ireland.

"Thom Yorke from Radiohead was pretty rude," he commented. "We were at the same hotel in Dublin and I went over to say hello as I'm a big Radiohead fan and he just blanked me. I still love the music - he's just an idiot."

Boyzone's comeback single 'Love You Anyway' is released next Monday (September 29). They will embark on their second tour since reforming in May of next year.
