C.C. DeVille might look a little different to some fans when they catch Poison this summer on the Stadium Tour. Why? The usually clean-shaven guitarist has grown a huge beard, and honestly, he looks rather badass.

DeVille shared the photo below to his Instagram along with the caption, "Who is ready to go on tour?!! I am!!!" He then signed the tweet "Rasputin DeVille," however, this writer thinks DeVille shares a strong resemblance to actor Viggo Mortensen in this pic.

The Stadium Tour featuring Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Poison and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts was first announced in December 2019 and was originally slated to take place in the summer of 2020. Obviously, the ongoing coronavirus pandemic derailed the tour for quite some time, but it's finally set to kick off on June 16 in Atlanta.


Billy Gibbons celebrates his birthday today (December 16.) While we could go on and on about his stellar guitar work, we could also ramble on and on about the wonder that is his beard.

In honor of Gibbons' birthday and his glorious facial hair, here’s a gallery of some of rock’s other bearded and mustachioed greats.
