In a surprising development Twitter users have identified that Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke has appeared on an Iranian book about sex and relationship problems.
Exemplifying the problems that Google Image search can create, an old press photo of Thom Yorke has appeared on the cover of an Iranian book about sex and relationship problems. As Buzzfeed explains, "Marital And Sexual Problems In Men' features Yorke alongside the literary figure of John Updike - presumably explaining something about male angst.

The book was photographed about three years ago at a bookstore in Mashhad, Iran but has only surfaced online this week.
When he's not being the poster boy for relationship problems, Thom Yorke is currently working on the new Radiohead album and complaining about the newly formed Conservative government. His bandmate Jonny Greenwood teased fans with further vague updates about the band's long awaited follow up to their 2011 LP King of Limbs in February. In an interview with The Sunday Guardian, Greenwood mainly spoke about the band's recording sessions of late, saying that they have "done a couple months recording" which have "gone really well".
He continued to outline the new approach the band are taking with regards to recording the LP, saying: "We've certainly changed our method again. It's too involved [to explain how]. We're kind of limiting ourselves; working in limits. So we'll see what happens. It's like we're trying to use very old and very new technology together to see what happens."
Thom Yorke released his latest solo album Tomorrows Modern Boxes in September 2014. Whether it was big in Iran is unconfirmed.
