Radiohead briefly covered The Smiths at Austin City Limits

On Friday night (30th September), Radiohead took to the stage to headline Austin City Limits. As well as playing a number of tunes from their latest album ‘A Moon Shaped Pool’ - and bringing out a couple of rarities, including ‘Airbag’ – the group also took a moment to once again remind us how much they love The Smiths (remember when they covered ‘The Headmaster Ritual?’)

Before playing ‘2+2=5’ from ‘Hail To The Thief,’ Thom Yorke paused to very briefly sing a few lines from ‘How Soon Is Now?’ Watch the few fleeting moments below.
