Crock stars! As Phil Collins puts his ageing face on his classic album covers, how other singers would look if they did the same

Crock stars! As Phil Collins puts his ageing face on his classic album covers, how other singers would look if they did the same 

Phil Collins broke new ground when he re-released his back catalogue of albums earlier this month — complete with recreations of the classic covers using up-to-date photographs of his face.
Collins, 65, seems to have weathered fairly well since he first stormed the charts as a solo artist 35 years ago, barring a few inevitable wrinkles.
So we wondered how some of our other music legends would fare if their albums were given the same treatment. Obviously, the music stands the test of time, but what about their faces...
