Overview
- The KOKO show, which took place on Tuesday night, saw Thom Yorke appear as a surprise guest to perform the co-written track "Traffic Lights" with Flea and a cover of Marvin Gaye’s "Got to Give It Up."
- "Traffic Lights" appears on Flea’s debut solo album Honora and is credited to Flea, Thom Yorke and Josh Johnson, reflecting a deliberate creative link back to their Atoms for Peace work.
- At the London performance Yorke played electric guitar and sang in falsetto on the Marvin Gaye cover while Flea alternated between trumpet and bass, stretching both songs into extended, jam-like renditions.
- Flea is currently on the European leg of his Honora tour and has two remaining Paris dates on May 28 and 29, with the KOKO appearance serving as his only U.K. show on this leg.
- Yorke has been prominent this month after receiving the Ivor Novello Academy Fellowship and debuting a new song, and he has said he is finishing a solo album produced with Sam Petts-Davies, which keeps him in the spotlight alongside these live reunions.
