Clearly the Radiohead problem has more problems than we first thought

Following on from his appearance on the cover of an Iranian book about sex and relationship problems, Thom Yorke has now appeared on an advert in Russia for headaches and insomnia. 

Earlier this week, a picture of the Radiohead frontman on the front cover of an Iranian book about marital problems went viral. Now, it appears that Yorke's problems don't only end in the bedroom - a Russian advert shows him as the sort of man who would benefit from a cure for "insomnia, fatigue, skin problems, cold, attention deficit disorder and headaches." 

As previously reported Yorke's image appeared on the cover of "Marital And Sexual Problems In Men' and featured Yorke alongside the literary figure of John Updike.

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 emotional and physical 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.
