Radiohead helped Harry Styles reach that watermelon sugar high.
The “As It Was” singer revealed a surprisingly personal detail while introducing Thom Yorke at the 2026 Ivor Novello Awards on May 21, where Radiohead’s frontman was receiving an Academy Fellowship prize.
“It’s always nerve-wracking stepping onto a stage,” Harry began, “but to know that a man I’ve spent so much of my life listening to is now listening to me talk to you about him is a truly terrifying honor.”
Then, the 32-year-old revealed he has an intimate understanding of one of the band’s songs.
“I lost my virginity to ‘Talk Show Host,’” he shared in his speech, before quipping, “I lost my virginity to the intro of ‘Talk Show Host.’”
All jokes aside, the “Watermelon Sugar” artist detailed the serious impact that Thom and the rest of the band has had on him. “Thom’s work is music that is felt,” he added of the 57-year-old. “It’s always been somewhat of a religious experience to me. Religious in the sense that understanding seemed to go both ways.”
