A Belfast man is shocked to find out that a photo of him as a teenager is the album cover for US rock band Green Day's new album. The photo, taken in 1978 during the Troubles, features a young boy holding a rock and smiling at the camera.
A Belfast man said he was "gobsmacked" to find out a photo of him as a teenager is the album cover for US rock band Green Day 's new album.
The only difference in the album cover from the original photo, taken by photographer Chris Steele-Perkins who visited the city in 1978, is that the young boy's face on the album cover has been photoshopped. "I was probably out of school that day, straight home, changed the clothes, and out to riot. That's how it was back then, unfortunately, it was just such a sad time for everyone.
"When I first heard about it, I thought somebody was finding me up," he added. "My niece was telling me I'm going to be famous now as I'm on the album cover.
