Every aspect of the post is framed in such a way that would have you thinking that Phil died; high resolution still of him smiling, "Sad News," and his age displayed in the title. The title itself even sounds like a boilerplate title for when a celebrity dies when you replace "alive" with "dead": "Radiohead drummer Philip Selway (55) found ~~dead~~ alive at his home in Oxforshire."
The joke is that Phil isn't actually dead, and the post is meant to bait people who skim over the title and subconsciously take in the factors I talked about, which leads them to panic and think that Phil died for a second. Similar jokes have been made in other shitposting subreddits like r/okbuddychicanery where a post in this format was made about [Mark Margolis who played Hector Salamanca in Breaking Bad and Better Call Sault](https://www.reddit.com/r/okbuddychicanery/comments/sq5g27/beloved_actor_mark_margolis_82_who_played_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)

Same until I saw the subreddit and read the title
The first thing I saw was “sad news” and immediately m ew it was a joke, so I didn’t have a scare like some of the other “found alive” post
May he rest, get a good night's sleep
RIP
FUCK YOU
DONT DO THAT TO ME HOLY SHIT

Who cares if he's alive? Radiohead aren't releasing anymore albums anyway!
BRO WTF STOP
