Nickelback rocker unrecognisable more than 20 years after topping the charts

Noughties rocker Chad Kroeger looked unrecognisable more than 20 years after his band topped the charts.

The band, which comprised of keyboard player and vocalist Ryan Peake, bassist Mike Kroeger and drummer Daniel Adair, formed in 1995 in Hanna, Alberta, and have since sold more than 50 million albums, despite facing a vicious backlash to in the late 2000s. However, they’ve managed to stage a successful comeback, and in a new interview, Chad spoke about the band’s famous hits.

During an appearance on Tom Power’s YouTube channel, Chad and Ryan discussed the rock band’s hugely successful career, as they were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. But fans were gobsmacked by how different the rock frontman looked, as he had chopped off his signature blonde locks and replaced them with a trendy short hairdo.

Chad confessed he was devastated that the band became the butt of jokes, and said it was now “really nice to not be Public Enemy Number One” as the band recruited a new generation of fans. “That kind of used to be a thing. I shouldn’t say ‘that kind of used to be’ - that was definitely a thing for a long time,” he said back in May while speaking on Arizona’s KFMA-FM. “And I think there’s been a softening - there really has, thankfully.
