Radiohead to auction Thom Yorke's 'Lotus Flower' bowler hat for charity

The infamous bowler hat from Radiohead's 'Lotus Flower' music video (plus endless Thom Yorke memes) is now for sale to raise money for testicular cancer research.

The band announced today, November 23rd, that the charity auction will benefit Cahonas Scotland and Testicular Cancer Education and Awareness.

As of today, the bidding stood at £1,280 (roughly $1,715). The hat is signed with Yorke’s name and a hand-scrawled Radiohead logo.

The outfit released a statement commemorating Scott Johnson last week, the Radiohead drum technician killed in a stage collapse eight years ago.

The statement addressed the engineer responsible for approving the stage design, who recently admitted that a “catalogue of errors” and “negligence” led to the tragic death.
