Radiohead has mysteriously disappeared from the internet.
The band’s Twitter account and the account of their lead singer Thom Yorke have both been erased.
Deleted their tweets, replaced their images with blank white ones. It's official, @radiohead just won social media pic.twitter.com/gmMR9GCdor

Their Facebook is now empty, as if they never posted a single message or picture, and their website www.radiohead.co.uk is just a white page.
The strange disappearance comes after some fans received cards emblazoned with the band’s logo and the words: “Sing the song of sixpence that goes ‘Burn the witch’.”

The curious goings on have triggered speculation that Radiohead are gearing up to release a new album, and they have been trending on Twitter as fans try to guess what will happen next.
The new #Radiohead record will only be available by completing Crash Bandicoot 2 on the PS1 at midnight.

New #Radiohead album has been taught to a band of monkeys one note at a time. Fans must visit each monkey in the correct order to hear it.

I heard the new #Radiohead album will be performed only once in front of a group of town elders, who will then have to recreate it orally.

RUMOUR: You can exclusively listen to the new #Radiohead album by calling numbers on selected public toilet doors and asking for ‘Big Thom’

If a new album is coming, it would be the rockers’ ninth studio record and the follow up to their 2011 offering The King Of Limbs.
