Earlier, we reported that Radiohead will be playing a free show downtown at the Occupy Wall Street protest - turns out, it's all a hoax!

Radiohead's press reps to NYO: "Just got the official word that Radiohead is not playing this."
That said, Radiohead playing tonight's Yankees/Tigers postseason game? Still on the table. They're Verlander fans. Of course.
And yes, JK, about the Yankees thing. But they really are not, according to their reps, playing #OccupyWallSt. Enjoy that press conference.
Either this is a brilliant press strategy to stay DL, Radiohead's reps are out of the loop, or Occupy Wall Street guys are total idiots.

In the meantime, here's a rad video of them performing to try and lessen the blow:
