Pop star Lana Del Rey says she's being sued by Radiohead for copying their breakthrough single, Creep.
It was rumoured over the weekend that the British band were taking action over Get Free, the closing track of Del Rey's latest album, Lust For Life.
The singer then confirmed the news on Twitter, saying: "It's true about the lawsuit."
She said she'd offered Radiohead 40% of the publishing royalties, but their "relentless" lawyers wanted 100%.
Interestingly, Radiohead themselves were successfully sued by The Hollies over Creep's similarities to The Air That I Breathe.
Albert Hammond and Mike Hazlewood are now listed as co-writers for the song, and split royalties with the band.
