The photo used is very outdated and from his time under management, so it is not representative of his current image. Given the emphasis on his style and self expression, a more recent and fitting image would make more sense. Alt-bart (talk) 23:42, 17 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Please provide an image with no copyright issues you'd like in the article. Thanks. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 01:13, 18 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
