Which Musicians Wear Hairpieces?

Bret Michaels

Kevin Dubrow of Quiet Riot.

Elton John obviously and apparently Chris Martin of Coldplay but that could be a transplant. I think it is much more prevalent in the acting category. There is a long list of bald musicians, Sinead O'Connor being at the top of the list.

You don't see many musicians on stage without a full head of hair.

I just assume most of them get hair transplants. I'm sure actors and other entertainers do the same.

This is Rivers Cuomo in the early 00's.



Just a couple years ago:

I saw some poor sap at the airport one time who was completely bald, but had these uniformly spaced, off-colored brown dots all over his head like dots on a domino. I assumed it was hair plugs gone bad or some sort of treatment to try to prevent going bald.

He looked like the tall elf on Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, except bald with brown dots.

Joe Lynn Turner (Rainbow, Deep Purple, and Yngwie Malmsteen) has had Alopecia totalis since he was a toddler. Must have been hell, but he had a great wig.

He had invitations from both Bad Company and Foreigner to join them, but luckily did Deep Purple's 'Slaves and Masters' instead...one of my favorite albums. Deep Purple Mk2 with Gillian is the gold standard, but I really like JLT in both DP and Rainbow! (and Yngwie!)
