Radiohead will tour this summer.

The 'Just' rockers are currently preparing to enter the studio to work on the follow-up album to 'In Rainbows', but promise this won't mean they will disappear from the public eye for the rest of this year.

Guitarist Ed O'Brien revealed: "We are working on new material. We'll be doing some more recording. It's business as usual.

No musician - or very few - will tell you they got into this business to make money. Artists and young bands are the lifeblood of sites such as YouTube and MySpace.

"We've sort of finished the bulk of 'In Rainbows' touring. We will be doing a little bit of touring in the summer, watch this space."

Ed also spoke out against video sharing website YouTube's decision to ban music videos in a row over royalties, arguing that musicians are the "lifeblood" of the site.

Speaking at a meeting of the Featured Artists Coalition (FAC), he said: "No musician - or very few - will tell you they got into this business to make money. Artists and young bands are the lifeblood of sites such as YouTube and MySpace.

"These are the things the FAC can look at. 'You have our content, so don't you think some of those huge ad revenues, some of that money, could go back to the artists?'
