UPDATED: Although reported on by numerous sources, it turns out 'manager' Brian Message wasn't actually Radiohead's manager at all.

The band has issued this statement: "At an industry event in London last night Brian Message was asked about new Radiohead music. Quotes attributed to him and taken from his talk have subsequently appeared, describing him as Radiohead's manager.

"Brian Message is not Radiohead's manager - he is a partner in Courtyard Management but plays no operational role, and therefore any quotes from last night's event, or any supposition arising from them, should not be attributed to Radiohead's management or be seen as official quotes on behalf of the group.”

Although billed as Radiohead's manager, working for Radiohead's management company and with various places reporting he is Radiohead's manager, Brian Message is not Radiohead's manager.

ORIGINAL: Rumours surrounding Radiohead’s new album have been circulating for some time, with fans believing its release could be imminent. Fortunately, thanks to the band’s manager, the rumours can be killed as he revealed when the album will be out.

Speaking at The Wanstead Tap in London, Brian Message told audiences how the follow-up to The King of Limbs would be available in June, the same month they kick off their world tour.

"The new Radiohead album out in June will be like nothing like you've ever heard,” Message revealed, as Tweeted out by the venue’s account.

In January, Radiohead registered a company called Dawn Chorus leading many fans to believe the album could be released at any moment.

Later in the year, in February, the band established Dawnchorus Ltd., adding to the speculation. What made this particularly meaningful was that, before the release of both In Rainbows and The King of Limbs, Radiohead started up companies.

Recently, long-time collaborator Stanley Donwood described the new album as 'a work of art’, adding that - as of March - it wasn’t actually finished yet.
