90s Music Stars Then and Now: You Won’t Believe Their Transformation

Several years have passed. Our favorite rock stars and singers of the 90s have changed a lot during the last years.

We all know what the stars of the 90s look like today. But hardly anyone remembers five, ten, fifteen or even more years back. We'll help jog your memory and show you how our favorite stars looked just a few years ago.

1. Jon Bon Jovi

For four decades, “Bon Jovi” has been one of the most successful bands of all time. Founder and frontman Jon Bon Jovi has now passed the 60-year mark. In order to still be able to rock out today, the American has had to change his training and nutrition over the years.

Jon Bon Jovi receives support from his trainer Felicia, with whom he does sports five to six times a week in the morning to maintain his fitness. She also gives him massages and acupuncture treatments. “Everything we do not only keeps me fit, but also makes me feel good,” he says. The sessions also help him to continue pursuing his greatest hobby: tennis. “If I could play in the senior handicap division of professional tennis... that's my goal,” he jokes.

2. Robbie Williams

Robbie Williams is one of the most successful British musicians of recent decades. He became famous as a member of the boy band Take That in the 1990s, Since the band broke up, he has been making music on his own. For example, he has sung songs like 'Feel', 'Angels and 'No Regrets'.

But today, 30 years later, the Brit has changed his look quite a bit.

3. Ricky Martin

Ricky Martin is one of the few Latin pop stars to have achieved worldwide fame. With more than 55 million albums sold, he is one of the biggest names in the music business. His single “Livin' la Vida Loca” in particular was a worldwide hit. The song from 1999 is a must at any 90s party. But songs like “She bangs”, “Maria” and the World Cup songs “The Cup of Life” and “Vida” are also catchy and have earned him more than eight million singles sales.

The superstar has kept fit over the years and still looks just as good as he did in the 90s.

4. Justin Timberlake

With *NSYNC, Justin Timberlake had worldwide success until the group's disbandment in 2002. After that, the singer launched an even more successful solo career with the album “Justified”.

After “Justified”, the sensational “Nipplegate” scandal with Janet Jackson at the 2004 Superbowl, his second, equally super-successful solo album “FutureSex/LoveSounds”, roles in films such as “Friends with Benefits” and the “Trolls” series, Justin Timberlake has long since arrived in the star Olympus. And in his private life, he has been blessed with a happy family for years. He has been in a relationship with Jessica Biel since 2007, and the two married in 2012.

Over the years, Justin Timberlake has not only developed musically, but has also changed his appearance. From his distinctive pop star image of the 90s, he has developed into a stylish and mature artist in his early 40s.

5. Jack Black

Jack Black is small, chubby and anything but a classic Hollywood heartthrob. But with his comedic talent, he still managed to gain a foothold in the glittering world of Hollywood. With charm and wit, Jack Black became a Hollywood star.

However, Jack Black prefers to combine acting with his second passion, music. He achieved this in 2003 with “School of Rock”. The music-loving actor was so full of enthusiasm for his role that he was even nominated for a Golden Globe. With his film “Kings of Rock - Tenacious D” he was able to combine music and film. In the movie, he played together with his band colleague Kyle Glass, with whom he has formed the band “Tenacious D” since the early 1990s.

Would you have recognized Jack Black when he was younger?

6. Lenny Kravitz

In the 90s, Lenny Kravitz was known as a talented musician who had his own unmistakable style, incorporating elements of rock, funk and soul. Hits like “Are You Gonna Go My Way” and “Fly Away” made him an international star. Over the years, Lenny Kravitz has continued to develop and expand his musical range. He has experimented with different genres such as reggae, R&B and even electronic music. Along with his musical evolution, Lenny Kravitz has also changed his look. Known for his characteristic rock star look with leather jackets and sunglasses, he has developed a stylish and timeless aesthetic over the years.

7. Elton John

Elton John was born near London in 1947 and is famous for his legendary piano playing, his extravagant outfits and his commitment to the fight against AIDS. He became one of the most successful musicians in the world. With hits like “Your Song” and “Candle in the Wind,” he sang and played his way into the hearts of his fans.

When you think of Elton John, you also think of his flamboyant outfits and his changeable appearance. The singer has changed quite a bit over the years.

8. Snoop Dogg

In the 2000s, fashion and style were secretly taken out of the hands of renowned designers and busy critics almost overnight and into the hands of people who pampered their hands with hand cream. From progressive bloggers, affordable clothing brands and, above all, rappers.

In the early 90s, there was one man who pioneered the uncompromisingly authentic style that everyone under 40 wears today. That man is Snoop Dogg—or, more precisely, was Snoop Dogg. Last year, he rebranded himself as Snoop Lion after returning from Jamaica, where he recorded the reggae and Rastafarian album Reincarnated, which features very little rapping. It will be released in mid-April, along with the accompanying documentary about his search for Jah.

9. Shania Twain

Shania Twain is one of the most successful musicians worldwide, and most of her hits went through the roof. In Timmins, Canada, where she grew up, there is not only a street named after her, there was even a Shania Twain Museum for a while. However, it has been quiet around her in recent years, and 15 years have passed since her last album “Up!”. Now she is back – and she looks completely different!
