Thom Yorke, what the hell are you doing there? You don't belong there.

A headshot of the Radiohead frontman graces the cover of a self-help book that deals with marital and sexual problems, which was translated from English to Persian and is being sold in Iran. The photo surfaced online this week and has gone viral.

Also featured on the cover: Late U.S. author John Updike, writer of the writer of the Rabbit series and The Witches of Eastwick novel, and an unidentified man. The cover stars have not commented.

Iranian user @Nix_Nikooo tweeted a pic of the cover earlier this month. Iranian journalist Sobhan Hassanvand also shared the photo saying, "A pic of @radiohead's vocalist @thomyorke on a book about sex problems between couples published in Iran."

Iranian user @Mehr_Dad tweeted that he first discovered the cover "about three years ago at my uncle's bookstore located in Mashhad, Iran."

You can buy the book on this website for 20,000 Iranian Rials, or 70 cents.
