It appears that there is currently a scam going targeting Wilson, with the people behind it sending out random Facebook friend requests on behalf of the singer.

The group posted on their official Twitter account:

If you’ve received a Facebook friend request from “Ricky Wilson”, please be aware that this is a scam. It’s not @Rickontour, he doesn’t have a private profile. Delete the request or, if you’ve already accepted it, unfriend the profile.
We’re also working on resolving the issue

Since forming in 2000, the band has released six studio albums, with the latest, Stay Together, coming out in 2016.

Wilson did confirm earlier this year that the band would be making new music. He said: “The cards are looking up. We’re writing, we’re always writing. We’re touring, we’re always touring. We’re signing a new deal. We’re making another record. When it comes out, we’ll do the rounds saying that it’s the best one ever – like we always do.”

The Momentum Music Fund aims to empower up-and-coming artists from Britain and provides artists with grants of between £5,000 and £15,000 to help them cultivate and develop their talent.

The fund also aims to empower artists from backgrounds which are under-represented, and nearly half of the artists who benefit from this project are either black or Asian – two minority groups in Britain who are still under-represented in the media.

The money can be used for anything the emerging artist may need, such as to cover the costs of touring, equipment, recording and generating publicity.

Radiohead’s frontman will be performing a series of festivals to air live with long-time collaborator Nigel Godrich and visual artist Tarik Barri. Support during the tour will be provided by Oliver Coates. Barri has worked on audiovisual projects for Atoms For Peace and Yorke before.
