CGI shows what rock stars would look like if they were alive today

Uh, yeah, no. Janis looked older than the age progressed version when she was 28 and the mockup lacks her wrinkles and acne scars. And the nose isn't even right and she didn't have a widow's peak. Also, she clearly had completely different teeth. What blind asshole is making these things?

That is the best case scenario picture, if she stopped boozing when she turned 28. As if.

My gawd, most of those are horribly photoshopped. That My Face app did a much better job in 2 seconds...

They all look too young. Especially Elvis, who would be 88 if he were alive today.

Bump

Jim Morrison aged up is high camp. Surely it’s not meant to be realistic?

Joplin would look like the crypt keeper if she were still alive

Agree the Janis Joplin one is optimistic.

No, CGI shows what the creator of that particular CGI thinks they'd look like.

Interesting

Not very convincing Photoshop work. They all look way too young in the doctored photos.

Buddy Holly would be 83 if he were still alive. Mama Cass would be 78. Bob Marley would be 74. Karen Carpenter would be 69. Kurt Cobain would be 52.

Those were TERRIBLY done! Like a high-school art project. Lol

Whatever she’d of got Botox and fillers like a celeb scum do.

And, embraced pastels.

Karen Carpenter would look like this today:

Elvis was a pedo, If he were alive today he be a MAGA hat wearing pedo.

If you want to know what Janis Joplin would look like, just look at her sister Laura....

Thanks for the laugh OP! They all look hideous.

Cass Elliot

WTF???

LMAO @the Hendrix one. Are most white people truly THIS clueless about black people's hair?

Their aged Tupac was bad, as well; looks like a boozhound "old Uncle" type. Tupac was extremely handsome, with the kind of features that tend to age well.

And the article writer? Sid Vicious had "nappy" hair? Really?

Biggie and Tupac would've been only 47 and 48, respectively. No way they'd look 60+ today; black don't crack.

I see Jimi's hair as one of two scenarios: either he'd have processed it so much, he'd be bald, or he'd embrace his natural hair and have long, white dreds.

The Jim Morrison one is just extreme wishful thinking.

And Janice would look like Manson murder girl Patricia Krenwinkle, only with shorter hair.

Bump

The Janis Joplin one just looks like a hippiesh high school art teacher.

Luckily none of the men went bald.

I knew 4 people on that list...

This was kind of bad

R27 You are therefore musically illiterate.

They need to give them bigger old people noses and ears.

Those are hilarious! I laughed out loud at Morrison and Cobain.

Agree that the noses are all too small on the men. They don’t look old enough - these motherfuckers smoked like chimneys, boozed and drugged - they would look like shit.

I know Millennials/Zers who barely even know who Kurt Cobain was, never mind the 60s/70s people.

They would've had work done, though. Like Paul McCartney.

While exactly a rock star (well, sort of), here's what River Phoenix might look today, courtesy of FaceApp.

*look like

Janis turned her back on showbiz, faked her death and went underground. She is now a retired lesbian librarian in Eureka, CA.

All of these are ridiculously optimistic. There’s no way in hell Elvis would look like that at 88, and I doubt Lennon would have aged that gracefully and had a full head of hair by now.

Bump

Just plain awful.

Mama Cass looks like Lisa Lampanelli Biggie Smalls looks like a hybrid of Bernie Mac/Joe Jackson

I really do think interns did these "Photoshop projects" for school credit.

So they thought Tupac would've still been wearing that on his head at that age?

And noses continue to grow as we get older, so why did they make them smaller in some cases?

Creepy as fuck

Those are awful CGI's. AWFUL.

Stop doing this. One of the benefits afforded to these people as a result of their early deaths...is that they get to be remembered as forever young and never age in our minds. At least let them have that dignity.

I think they went off the rails with King Tut and Nefertiti (they were rock stars?), but really interesting! Kurt Cobain's hair was on-point. Janis looked good!

They overdid it in the aged-up picture of River Phoenix at R33. He’d be 49, not 79! Sure, he did hard drugs and I doubt he wore sunscreen, but damn...

I never listened to Ozzy Osbourne but recall seeing those pictures of Osbourne hoisting Randy Rhoads into the air, holding him.by one leg as Rhoads played. Always thought that must have been a cool show.

So no men went bald??

Jimi probably would have still relaxed his hair.

omfg how mean
