15 Photos of Musicians Being Normal People
Musicians are often seen as unattainable figures, immersed in fame and on stages we could never experience in our daily lives. But when these artists are away from music and the stage, they are flesh-and-blood people who follow routines similar to any of us in our daily lives.
You might see photos of Sting enjoying a glass of wine outdoors, Iggy Pop reading a book in an armchair, Lenny Kravitz cooking at home, or Bono strolling down the street with one of his children.
Seeing images of a music star eating at a food stall, preparing lunch themselves, or going shopping creates a sense of closeness and empathy with fans by sharing moments of their daily lives away from luxury and fame.
