Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke's longtime partner, Rachel Owen, has passed away at the age of 48 after a battle with cancer.

The couple broke up in 2015 and their split inspired much of the music on Radiohead's album, A Moon Shaped Pool.

Owen was a celebrated artist in her own right. In addition to being a lecturer at the University of Oxford's Pembroke College, she was also renowned for her work as a printmaker.
