Time can be a cruel mistress and nobody known this better than the stars of rock n roll.
Lauded for their looks, followed everywhere they go and generally worshipped for merely existing; it can be a good life to be in a succesful rock band. However, this comes at a cost when the hairline starts receeding, the chins increase and the bags under your eyes become more like suitcases.
