Since singer Joe Lynn Turner has finally decided to give up the wig that he has worn since the age of 14 after being diagnosed with alopecia at three years old, singer Graham Bonnet has praised Turner’s ”bravery”.
On his social media page, Graham posted the following:
“Hi all. Graham here. I’m posting this photo of my friend Joe Lynn Turner because I was moved to tears today when I saw it.
“Joe exemplifies the meaning of rockstar. His bravery is staggering. This industry is ruthless (especially in our genre), particularly when it comes to hair. I still hear the tale about Ritchie Blackmore posting a guard at my hotel door to keep me from getting a haircut. BTW, that never happened, although he was so pissed when I did visit the barber.
“But I digress…… I don’t know if Joe will see this but I want him to know how proud I am of him and how moved I was at his honesty.
“You have blazed a trail today, Joe. If you are reading this, I want you to know that I never realized what a beautiful man you were until I saw this photo.”
