Popular British rock band Radiohead has many fans scratching their heads after the band vanished from social media.

The band’s website, Twitter and Facebook were all devoid of content Monday leaving many wondering what the band had up its sleeve.

Even vocalist Thom Yorke’s Twitter account was scrubbed, but other members of the band appeared to be intact.

Most of speculation was that the group was going to be releasing its ninth album very soon.

In Britain, fans received leaflets in the mail reading "Sing a song of sixpence that goes / Burn the Witch / We know where you live."


It has been five years since the band, based in Oxford, England, released an album.

The band’s last album, “The King of Limbs,” was self-released in 2011.

Radiohead is embarking on a world tour later this month with two shows in Amsterdam.
