Having famously snubbed Spotify...
Well, Thom Yorke has made it known that he is not a big fan of streaming services being particularly outspoken against Spotify and how they pay artists.
Previously, Yorke has tweeted: "Make no mistake new artists you discover on #Spotify will no get paid. Meanwhile shareholders will shortly being (sic) rolling in it. Simples.
"Your small meaningless rebellion is only hurting your fans... a drop in the bucket really' No we're standing up for our fellow musicians. For me 'In Rainbows' was a statement of trust. People still value new music... That's all we'd like from Spotify. Don't make us the target."
With that, his solo work, Atoms For Peace and Radiohead's In Rainbows were pulled from Spotify.
With Apple Music having launched yesterday, subscribers will be delighted to hear the aforementioned are now available on the service, which suggests Yorke worked out a deal with the company that he feels places enough value on his creations.
