Radiohead to Hit Road in 2008; Winehouse Arrested on Marijuana Charges

Surely answering the prayers of fans across the globe, the Oxford-based boys of Radiohead will hit international highways and byways next year to unveil selections from mold-busting LP In Rainbows before live audiences. "We plan to tour next year, starting in May through to probably the end of the year. With lots of holidays in that period," Bryce Edge of Courtyard Management, the firm that manages the forward thinking quintet, told Billboard.com. "At the moment we are talking with our agents in North America and for the rest of the world, trying to get a schedule which works for the band and works financially."

Confirming the outing will be set in "slightly larger-scale venues," Edge also divulges frontman Thom Yorke's initial hesitancy at the prospect of a lengthy worldwide outing. "He likes to do shows, but the whole business of schlepping around the world is not top of his list of favorite things to do," said Edge before commenting on Yorke's concern with environmental issues and the effects of touring. "He really enjoys playing to the fans -- it's just the process of how to do that which is the pain in the neck (for Yorke). They're not road dogs. They never have been."

Amy Winehouse Arrested in Norway for Marijuana Possession

Well, at least it's not heroin, crack, ketamine, and marijuana; Brit nightingale Amy Winehouse was arrested yesterday (Oct. 18) in Norway on possession of marijuana charges, the BBC reports. Police also held Blake Fielder-Civil, Winehouse's husband, as well as another member of her touring party, over night. The arrest occurred in Bergen's Radisson Hotel following a tip from an unidentified source claiming an occupant of the hotel had attempted to buy drugs. Soon after, police discovered seven grams of pot in the Winehouse's possession. The punishment: a fine of 500 Euros ($714). "She's paid the fine, so the thing is over for us now," said Norwegian prosecutor Lars Morten Lothe. A spokesperson was unavailable for comment at press time.
