re: Which Musicians Wear Hairpieces?

quote:

---

You don't see many musicians on stage without a full head of hair. All four Beatles never lost a hair

John Lennon's hairline was receding by the time he withdrew from the public in his mid 30s

I never cared enough for Paul Simon to research if he ever wore a rug. But I do know he was infamous for his TV appearances where he would spray paint the top of his head, to camouflage his bald spot from the TV cameras

I don't know about bald, but Elvis was graying by the time he was 40 and dyed his hair to hide it.

Elvis originally had brown hair, as you can see in Love Me Tender, but after the main filming ended he dyed it black b/c he felt it looked better onscreen. Then he was called back to shoot the final scene. No one seemed to care his hair was now jet black,

Paul Simon has had a transplant.
I believe mick jagger wears some kind of toupee

as does Paul M.

I'm not gonna get too worked up about about 80 yr olds. It's the younger baldos who are intriguing

Brian Eno was receding even before Roxy Music. He went long hair & combover (and eventually, beret).



I call this the Slade look, after their rather disconcerting guitarist

Guitarist and bassist of Khruangbin

Didn't Sinatra wear a piece?

I was watching this one live when it happened.
