An image of Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has reportedly been used on the cover of a book in Iran about sexual and marital problems.
Yorke, who released his solo album ‘Tomorrow’s Modern Boxes’ last year, graces the front sleeve of the book along with the pictures of two other unidentified males. As Buzzfeed reports, the book’s title translates in English to Marital And Sexual Problems In Men.
A Twitter user named @Mehr_DaD alleges that he found the book “about three years ago at my uncle’s bookstore located in Mashhad, Iran”.
The book in question is currently on sale here. See the cover below. Yorke’s appearance on the book’s sleeve is seemingly unrelated to its content.

Meanwhile, Radiohead are thought to have begun recording their new album last autumn. In February, Jonny Greenwood said the band have “changed their method” for the new LP, telling Indian newspaper The Sunday Guardian: “It’s too involved to explain how. We’re kind of limiting ourselves, working within limits. We’re trying to use very old and very new technology together to see what happens.”
More recently, Thom Yorke offered his support to Green Party MP Caroline Lucas. Following the Conservatives’ UK general election win, Yorke tweeted, “the City must be very pleased… (spits)”.
