It is a fact of life that everyone ages, but before you go thinking that’s a reason to be melancholy or sad, think about this – getting older is better than the alternative.
So, while it’s fun to visit the past and see what these popular musicians looked like then and now, let’s remember to say a little thank you that they’re still with us, no matter what they look like or what they’re up to these days.
And while we’re at it, say a little thank you to Dutch graphic designer Ard Gelinc, who hooked us up with these fun edits.
14. Super smooth, always.
