The mother-of-two, 46, has previously spoken to guests about cancer on her Radio 4 show Desert Island Discs. She was praised by listeners for her 'warmth and empathy' after her debut show in 2018 in which Olympic diver Tom Daley spoke of his final moments with his father Robert who died in 2011 following his battle with cancer. Rob Delaney appeared on the long-running show just weeks before Laverne's shock announcement, in which he opened up about his grief of losing his two-year-old son Henry to the disease. Laverne was softly spoken as she said how it was 'so difficult to comprehend' the 'agony of what you all went through'. Radiohead frontman Yorke also used the platform to open up about his own struggles and the 'hard time' his family went through when his ex-partner and mother of their two children, Rachel Owen, died of cancer aged 48 in 2016. BBC international editor and war reporter Jeremy Bowen told Laverne last June how his bowel cancer diagnosis in 2019 had 'brought back' his optimistic side.

The haunted Tudor mansion where ghosts inspired and terrified some of the world's greatest musicians: Bond star Jane Seymour's home - where Radiohead's Thom Yorke was urged to cut off his hair by mysterious voices - goes on sale for £12.5m

Garden designer Gertrude Jekyll called it 'delightful', whilst Radiohead's Thom Yorke encountered ghosts there. And shortly after James Bond star Jane Seymour moved in, she vowed she would be there for 'the rest of time'. But now, 17 years after Seymour broke her promise and sold up, the 13-bedroom Tudor mansion St Catherine's Court, in Somerset, is on the market again. The 13-bedroom grade I listed property, which was the childhood home of Henry VIII's rumoured illegitimate child, is up for sale for £12.5million. Seymour, who starred as Bond girl Solitaire in 1973 film Live and Let Die alongside Roger Moore (both inset), fell in love with the pad while filming on location for 1983 British TV series Jamaica Inn. She paid £350,000 for the mansion and went on to rent it out as a studio for bands. Radiohead's iconic 1997 album OK Computer was largely recorded there. Yorke, the band's lead singer, claimed to have encountered the supernatural when he lived there for several months during the album's production. Robbie Williams passed it off as his own when he appeared on MTV show Cribs in the early 2000s. He later apologised to Seymour for pretending it was his.

Writes ADRIAN THRILLS about the Smile Wall Of Eyes: Radiohead stars break free, and it's (most) enough to make Thom Yorke smile, according to ADRIAN THRILLS

www.dailymail.co.uk, January 25, 2024
Although members of Radiohead, singer Yorke, and guitarist Greenwood were behind classics such as The Bends and OK Computer, their enthusiasm for returning to the day job seems to be waning. The Smiles are a regular in comparison to their original band, who has been quiet since 2016's A Moon Shaped Pool. They were accompanied by Tom Skinner, an outstanding jazz guitarist, on two studio albums and two live ones in the last 20 months, with Yorke and Greenwood. There are no prizes for guessing where their current obsession is located with a 2024 tour running from spring to summer. As with anything in the orbit of Radiohead, who can be difficult at times, there's one question to be asked of the new Smile album, Wall Of Eyes: are there any good tunes?

In headlines announcing its launch, the words "finally" and "at last" were used. An NPR analyst explained why the moment marked a turning point in the digital music world, not by song: Spotify's "thoroughly catalog of music that can be streamed, incorporated into playlists, and accessible from any computer with an Internet connection" was on display.
