Scottish singer/songwriter KT TUNSTALL has pledged her support for fellow environmentally aware musician THOM YORKE - but insists he doesn't need to abandon his career to save the planet.
The Radiohead frontman last year (06) voiced his concerns over the green credentials of touring as a band, and suggested he might refrain from going on the road again as a result.
But Tunstall has urged Yorke to continue touring, as his influence will help entice fans into being environmentally aware.
She says, "I don't agree with that argument (that touring in bad for the environment). He (Yorke) puts out less carbon output than a massive conglomerate company. And that massive conglomerate company can do nothing, or isn't interested in doing anything in raising awareness about the problem. But Thom Yorke's got an incredible voice and there's no point in sabotaging that.
"And someone like (him), I'm like please go on tour! Because so many people will follow what you say, because they really respect you. And they know that you really know what you're talking about."
