Harry Styles reveals he lost his virginity while listening to Radiohead. The Aperture singer made the hilarious revelation while giving a speech in honour of Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke at the Ivor Novello Awards in London on Thursday night. Before Yorke was inducted into the Fellowship of The Ivors Academy, Styles gave a five-minute speech about Radiohead's influence on his life and career. The former One Direction star shared a very personal anecdote about the first time he had sex. "I lost my virginity to Talk Show Host," he said of the 1996 song. After pausing for laughter, he quipped, "I lost my virginity to the intro of Talk Show Host," to which the crowd laughed and cheered. Elsewhere in the speech, Styles heaped praise on "hero" Yorke, saying that the songwriter lives at the top of a "magical music mountain that we're all attempting to climb”. "I cannot overstate how his work has influenced my belief in the purpose of the arts in our world today, and I cannot overstate how much his work continues to influence me.” He also noted that his song Watermelon Sugar wouldn't exist without Radiohead's Exit Music. ”Imagine that... A world without that song," he joked, as the crowd laughed. Styles recalled meeting Yorke for the first time while he was walking around Rome, Italy. He had "always been worried" that the musician might be mean, but he was "friendly" and "kind", and the As It Was singer felt "overwhelmed" during their conversations. Styles attended the ceremony on a rare night off from his Together, Together world tour.
