Then, the 32-year-old revealed he has an intimate understanding of one of the band’s songs.

He jokingly revealed in a speech that he lost his virginity, adding with a playful twist that it happened during the theme song of the ‘Talk Show Host’ program.

Putting jokes aside, the singer of “Watermelon Sugar” explained how much Radiohead and its frontman, Thom Yorke, have influenced him. He described Yorke’s music as deeply emotional, saying it’s always felt like a profound, almost spiritual experience—one where he felt a connection going both ways, as if understanding flowed in both directions.
