Tk Photos Where Rock Stars Are Just Normal People
We often mistakenly believe that rock stars only appear on stage and spend the rest of their time locked away in their homes or recording studios. The music industry has always led us to believe that musicians are constantly surrounded by glamour and immersed in songwriting.
The reality is that when rock stars aren't performing, they're doing everyday things like grocery shopping, going to the mall to buy clothes, or simply taking walks outdoors alone, with their partners, or with their families.
The following images show a lead singer, or even a well-known one, traveling on commercial flights or going to a kiosk or pharmacy to buy something. They're not people who spend 24 hours a day backstage, nor are they locked up in a hotel all year round.
