Radiohead have hit out at the US’ Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), after the Department of Homeland Security used a choral rendition of their song ‘Let Down’ in an Instagram Reel.
In a joint statement, the band said: “We demand that the amateurs in control of the ICE social media account take it down. It ain’t funny, this song means a lot to us and other people, and you don’t get to appropriate it without a fight. Also, go fuck yourselves.”
‘Let Down’ was originally released on Radiohead’s 1997 album OK Computer, and recently became the band’s fourth-ever song to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100.
The band toured for the first time in seven years late last year.
