Michael Stipe: Then

Michael Stipe was the lead singer of the alt-rock band R.E.M in the 1980s. With a curly crown and a cleft chin designed by the gods, young Michael Stipe was the youngest member of the band and ended up dropping out of school to focus on it. After R.E.M’s success, there was a point where Stipe shaved his head save from losing his sanity.
