“[It’ll be] only a matter of time,” Yorke says. “Months rather than years before the music business establishment completely folds.”

Advising aspiring musicians not to tie themselves to such a “sinking ship”, Yorke added that the fall of the music business will be “no great loss to the world”.

The textbook is due out on July 1 and also features interviews with Ms Dynamite and broadcaster Jon Snow. It is aimed at helping 15 and 16-year-olds become more politically literate.
