One nineties rocker is looking completely unrecognisable 25 years after soaring to fame in The Goo Goo Dolls.
John Rzeznik was the rocker behind the incredible hit Iris, along with tracks like Can’t Let It Go and Name.
Now aged 57, John looks a lot different from when he first found fame in 1988.

Used to sporting jagged, bleach blonde hair and simple black tees with his guitar slung over his chest, the rocker sometimes accessorised with dark eyeliner and black beaded necklaces.
Now he still looks ageless as ever – but definitely had a new look as he appeared on Australian TV this week for The Morning Show.

John donned a simple black tank top to show off his numerous tattoos, with curls of mouse brown hair escaping from under his burgundy baseball cap.
It comes after John’s battle with alcoholism – going sober after things got “so dark” for the star.
He told Metro: “It was a little weird when I first got sober because everybody would go out to dinner, and nobody would drink.
“And everybody would be texting under the table ‘meet me at the bar after dinner, I think John’s gonna leave!’”
He confessed to Cleveland.com: “I have a very powerful form of alcoholism. I finally gave up and accepted the fact that if I even smell too much booze, I’m going to start drinking again. That’s just how I am.”
His bandmate Robby Takac also hasn’t had any alcohol in more than a decade.
But John has had to battle other health problems, and in 2022 was forced to stay silent for two weeks after suffering a “nick” on his vocal cord – and tearing a ligament in his elbow.

The American rock star joked: “I had to stay completely silent for two weeks. I’m sitting there going, ‘Oh, my God. I have no other skills! I can’t go get a job.’”
In his personal life, Rzeznik has been married twice – first to model Laurie Farinacci in 1993.
The pair divorced 10 years later, and John tied the knot with Melina Gallo in 2013, going on to welcome daughter Liliana together in December 2016.
