Thom Yorke and Flea Perform Marvin Gaye Cover in London

Flea ‘s Honora tour has hit Europe, and for his London show at Koko on Tuesday night (5/25), he invited out his Atoms for Peace bandmate Thom Yorke for a couple of songs. Thom joined him on the second song of the night, “Traffic Lights,” and he came back out ahead of the encore for a cover of Marvin Gaye ‘s “Got to Give It Up.” Watch video of both of those songs below.

Warren Ellis (Nick Cave’s Bad Seeds, Dirty Three, etc) also joined Flea on “Frailed,” which he also plays on on the album. Watch video of that below as well.

Thom also made an appearance at the 2026 Ivor Novello Awards last week, where he performed a new song, “Space Walk,” and was inducted into the Fellowship of the Ivors Academy. During his speech, he said he worried “that our business is becoming risk-averse,” blasting the “heads of our industry” for not supporting new artists. “I guess I’d like to provide a quick reminder to the top of the industry and streaming services: pull your finger out,” he said. “Where are you gonna get your next juicy back catalogues from, eh? This industry will die and arseholes with it, if all you do is devalue the next generation of artists and their fans. Just remember: without us, you ain’t shit!” Watch video of his speech and the new song below.
