Confirming the outing will be setin “slightly larger-scale venues,” Edge also divulges frontman ThomYorke’s initial hesitancy at the prospect of a lengthy worldwideouting. “He likes to do shows, but the whole business of schleppingaround the world is not top of his list of favorite things to do,” saidEdge before commenting on Yorke’s concern with environmental issues andthe effects of touring. “He really enjoys playing to the fans — it’sjust the process of how to do that which is the pain in the neck (forYorke). They’re not road dogs. They never have been.”
