DREGEN has released a video for his track Flat Tyre On A Muddy Road – and it’s the first time fans will have seen his bald look.

View it below.

The former BACKYARD BABIES guitarist, who’s taken a break from Michael Monroe’s band to promote his self-titled solo debut, explains that his hair started to fall out as he worked his way through a hectic year.

DREGEN says: “Here’s the answer to all of you who have asked why I’ve been wearing a hat or bandana for the last six months.

“I became a dad. I was writing and recording my solo album. I was writing and recording the Michael Monroe album. I wrote a 330-page autobiography. I was touring. All at the same time.

“So my hair fell off – overnight. All of it. The doctor called it ‘post traumatic stress disorder.’”

But he’s pleased to report he’ll soon be sporting a head of hair again, and reflects: “Luckily I don’t play or write with my hair… It could have been worse. I could have lost my fingers.”
