C.C. DeVille Has Shaved Off His Bitchin’ Beard (And Now I’m Sad)

C.C. DeVille got a lot of attention this week for sharing a photo of himself with an outstanding beard. (Heck, we even wrote about it!) However, the beard is no more.

Poison shared the video below of themselves addressing their fans while rehearsing for the Stadium Tour, which also features Def Leppard, Motley Crue and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, and the guitarist is now clean-shaven!

Now, look...is this the end of the world? No, but just look at the majestic beard DeVille was rockin' just days ago!  At the end of the day, it's DeVille's face, but if you love yourself a nice beard (like I do), it's still a bit of a bummer.

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.
