How Legendary Singers Would Have Looked Today If They Got Older

You’re listening to your favorite Nirvana song when it dawns to you: Kurt Cobain would have been an average looking grandpa by now.

Not to mention charming Elvis adding a lot more wrinkles if not a bigger chin…

How would our idols have looked if they were still alive today, in their 70s or 80s? Thankfully, a bunch of artists at Sachs Media have shared their CGI work with us and we have to tell you, that only Bob Marley looked better as a grandpa!

Let’s check them out in the next photos.

Elvis Presley

This photograph is the last one Presley had, at around 42 years old. If he was still alive in 2019, he would have been 83! While he was quite charming as a young man, over years his face aged.

Add the addiction and a lot of stress from many performances, and we all know the result…

The King of Rock would have been a healthier grandpa if he turned his life around – going sober and losing some weight.

Seeing the side-by side images, it’s fair to say that the CGI is pretty accurate adding the wrinkles, but keeping that whitened hair and the sparkle in his eyes.

Janis Joplin

The photo was taken in late June 1970 – three months later she died. She was wearing the clothes she designed herself in this photo.

Today, Janis would have been 86 years old, but her lifestyle sort of got in the way… Let’s see how she would have looked today.

Who would have thought we’d be here looking at old peoples’ photos? The CGI above shows a smiling Janis, just as she would always do, no matter what.

Her eyes and smile that have captivated an entire world will never be forgotten.
