During an appearance on the July 6 episode of The Louis Theroux Podcast, the host read out critical comments from music figures to Mel C, including Radiohead’s Thom Yorke saying the pop group were “the Antichrist”, which prompted a pretend gasp from the singer, who replied “that’s a bit strong, isn’t it? I love Radiohead”. Theroux then quoted Manson as saying: “I want them tarred and feathered. My wish is for the complete and utter destruction of the Spice…
