Radiohead Announces Eco-Friendly Show

British rockers RADIOHEAD are to play a “green” gig on a U.S. talkshow by performing via satellite link-up from the U.K. – saving them from flying across the Atlantic.

The band – who are known for their planet-friendly stance – refused to fly by plane to perform on Late Night with Conan O’Brien later this week (beg21Apr08) in a bid to reduce their carbon footprint.

Frontman Thom Yorke insists that one flight to the U.S. would have produced the equivalent pollution to driving a car for a whole year.

The band’s appearance on the hit show comes as part of O’Brien’s contribution to TV channel NBC’s “Green Week” – seven days of environmentally conscious programming.
