What happened?

I was leafing through the Guardian G2 section the other day after- I buy it for the crossword, honest- and I came across a picture of Billy Ocean that left me transfixed. Now, I'm sure you all remember Billy Ocean's mega-hit When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Gets Going and Billy looking like this:


Most likely, you'll have seen Billy strutting his stuff to the video also:



If you can get past the fact he's shilling a Michael 'sex addict' Douglas movie (part of the title of which is a mispronunciation of my name obviously) for just a second, you'll surely notice how Billy was a clean-cut kind of guy. Pretty suave, clean-shaven, well coiffed kind of fellow yes?




















So what happened to him to make him look like THIS?


Do you think it was Michael 'sex addict' Douglas' fault? Answers on a postcard please, or in the comments section. Personally, I think he saw George Clinton and thought to himself 'I'll have a bit of that, with dignity'. Or perhaps not. Either way, I much prefer Billy now, purely because I think that when the going got tough, he got going. Clearly.
