Thomas Dolby, known for his wild hair in the 1980s, is set to surprise his fans this summer with a hair transformation. After more than three decades of sporting a bald look, Dolby has decided to bring back his signature hair.
The decision comes ahead of his biggest tour in years, headlining the Totally Tubular Festival.
In a candid YouTube video "How I Got My Hair Back," Dolby shares his journey of investing in a "hair replacement system." The 80’s star reveals that the upcoming tour was a significant factor in his decision to get a wig. Dolby spent a whopping $7500 on the wig. He’s documented the process in a video, wanting to "embrace it and be upfront with it."
At 65, Dolby has been open about his early onset baldness, which began in his 20s. He took the bold step of shaving his head for the first time at 29. The Totally Tubular Festival kicks off June 25th in Seattle, and Dolby will sport his new look.
The festival lineup includes notable names like Tom Bailey of Thompson Twins, Modern English, Men Without Hats, The Romantics, Bow Wow Wow, and Tommy Tutone. The festival will also rock The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving on July 9th.
