Radiohead Ignite New Release Speculation After Forming Fresh Legal Entity
According to the British Government's Companies House agency, the five members of Radiohead established a new limited liability partnership under the name RHEUK25 LLP on Monday (March 10). An LLP is a legal business entity which allows the band to exist and conduct their own dealings outside of the typical framework of a record label.

While the establishment of an LLP may mean nothing on face value, historical activities have indicated that a new release or tour usually follows after Radiohead or its members establish a new LLP.
In 2007, the group prefaced the release of In Rainbows with the creation of Xurbia Xendless Ltd., which was followed by Ticker Tape Ltd. ahead of The King Of Limbs' arrival in 2011, while 2016's A Moon Shaped Pool was rumored after the discovery of the Dawn Chorus LLP.
It's not just restricted to Radiohead's movements as a whole, with frontman Thom Yorke having been a part of Unsustainabubble Ltd. in 2010 before Atoms for Peace released their solo album in 2013, with the partnership also being used for his later solo releases. In 2021, Self Help Tapes LLP was incorporated before the release of The Smile's debut album, and has since been used for their subsequent releases.
The most recent partnership to be created with all five members of Radiohead was Spin With a Grin Ltd., which arrived ahead of their 2021 reissue of Kid A and Amnesiac, dubbed Kid A Mnesia. It should be noted though, the nascent establishment of RHEUK25 LLP also coincides with the anniversary of Radiohead's second album, The Bends, which was released 30 years ago on Thursday (March 13). Currently, it's unknown whether the new LLP could be related to new music or a potential reissue.
Radiohead haven't released a new studio album since 2016's A Moon Shaped Pool, which peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 at the time. Band members have remained active since, with Yorke and guitarist Jonny Greenwood teaming with Tom Skinner to craft The Smile. On Tuesday (March 11), Yorke also announced a collaborative album with Mark Pritchard, with Tall Tales slated to arrive on May 9.
Speaking to Australian radio station Double J ahead of his Australian tour last year, Yorke noted his ignorance of online speculation regarding the band's future. 'I am not aware of it and don't really give a flying f–k,' Yorke said.
'No offence to anyone and err, thanks for caring. But I think we've earned the right to do what makes sense to us without having to explain ourselves or be answerable to anyone else's historical idea of what we should be doing.'

Felix the Cat heirs claim they were cut out of $100M in business from popular cartoon feline
There was no cash in this magic bag. The Australian descendants of one of the creators of Felix the Cat claim an upstate New York man cut them out of the business for decades and controlled the rights to the cartoon feline — setting them back $100 million. Felix, the distinctive black and white cat with a big grin whose catchphrase is 'Righty-O!,' was co-created by a team of cartoonists, including Patrick Sullivan, in Manhattan in 1919, nearly a decade before Mickey Mouse was born. 3 Later, he became a TV cartoon character with an iconic song and a 'magic bag of tricks' that could transform into any shape. Three heirs of Sullivan claim Donald Oriolo, of Pine Island, NY — whose cartoonist dad Joseph helped bring Felix back to prominence in the 1980s and created Felix's scientist pal Poindexter — failed to inform them of the character's modern day resurgence and spent decades 'siphoning off revenue and assets for his sole benefit.' After struggling through bankruptcy in the '70s, Felix bounced back to become a cult hit in Japan. He was licensed to brands like Sony, Chevrolet, Wendy's and others and eventually sold for an undisclosed sum to Dreamworks in 2014, they said in a lawsuit against Oriolo. Felix the Cat's earning power over the years was thought to be in the 'billions,' according to a January report in Animation Magazine. But there's no legal catfight to be had, insisted Oriolo's lawyer, who denied his client cheated anyone. 3 Oriolo, whose dad helped create the 'Felix the Cat' animated series, took control of the business after his mother Dorothy died in 2004. He long believed all the other shareholders were bought out decades ago, attorney Robert Meloni told The Post. 'Nobody knew about them,' Meloni said, noting the Sullivan trio were children when they inherited their shares. 3 'It was an honest mistake. We thought they had been bought out.' Oriolo 'intends to engage in good faith discussion with the three Sullivan heirs to make sure they're treated right and fairly,' the attorney pledged, while noting, 'What they're entitled to remains to be seen.' A lawyer for the Sullivan heirs disagreed. 'We are confident that the evidence will show Mr. Oriolo was well aware of our clients' ownership interests in the company,' attorney Evan Michailidis said.
