Pop icon Sia is unrecognizable without her giant blonde wigs.
The 42-year-old singer/songwriter, who has sung mega-hits like "Chandelier" and written countless songs for Beyonce, Britney Spears, and Carly Rae Jepsen, is barely recognizable without her giant blonde wigs. Sia hides behind her wigs in concert and chooses dancers like Maddie Zeigler to take the spotlight in her music videos. She wrote an anti-fame manifesto in 2013 for Billboard, citing her desire to stay private to avoid criticism from the media.
She does occasionally take the wig off for events, but probably just enough to stay anonymous at the grocery store.
Daft Punk’s headwear completely hides the creators’ faces.
If you’re up all night, you might get lucky searching for unmasked photos of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, the French musicians who make up the electronic duo, Daft Punk.
Performing behind robot masks, de Homem-Christo explained to Rolling Stone, "We’re not performers, we’re not models – it would not be enjoyable for humanity to see our features, but the robots are exciting to people." Their bare faces might become more recognizable when their upcoming book drops.
KISS was one of the first major bands to feature theatrical identities.
The identities of Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss, and Paul Stanley are now out, but in the 1970’s, they were The Demon, Space Ace, Catman, and Starchild, respectively. With elaborate black and white face paint, they constructed on-stage personas that allowed them to walk amongst their fans in broad daylight without getting swarmed, according to Allmusic.com.
