A lex Turner has had a major image change and ditched his trademark long locks, sending fans into a frenzy. The Arctic Monkeys frontman has finally had his 2007 Britney Spears hair moment, and his die-hard fans are divided. The 32-year-old, who has become renowned for his signature long-haired look, has gone a bit crazy with the razer and shaved his entire head. Turner debuted the look on American talk show The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday. The look sent fans of the rock group into a social media storm. One wrote: “I LOVE IT!!!! I knew he’d rock it. I mean...cmon, he’s Alex Turner.” Another commented: “HE’S AMAZING IN ALL SHAPES AND FORMS.” A third said: “Looks good tbh.” Whilst some fans declared they were “into it” others were less impressed and demanded fans “pay respects for that beautiful hair.” One fan commented: “Press f to pay respects for that beautiful hair.” Ditched: Turner left his long locks behind (Picture: Bang Showbiz) A second posted: “B-but his hair was so hot before.” A third added: “I REALLY hope everything is OK and he just wanted a shocking change. But this seems so...not him.” The new haircut comes months after the band released their latest album Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino which left fans divided by their new 'alternative' sound, with some branding it a brave new direction and others lamenting the move away from their iconic sound. Taking to social media to share their thoughts, some fans praised the album for its “maturity" while others called it "pretentious"<doc-sep>Arctic Monkeys front man Alex Turner has shorn off his locks and is now sporting a shaved head, which is one way to combat this never-ending heatwave, I guess.

Alex Turner's perfect hair - Lívia (@liviatorresb_) July 24, 2018 It's a drastic change from the teddy-boy-look he used to rock, or his more recent style, which I like to call 'man who smokes roll ups at a social club'. Credit: PA Yesterday the Arctic Monkeys released the video for their new song, Tranquilty Base Hotel & Casino from their latest album Tranquility Base. Advert 10 The highly anticipated sixth studio album, which was released in May, was a massive smash for the Sheffield band, managing to outsell the rest of the UK Top 20 combined, according to the Official Charts Company. But for as many fans that loved it, there was a few who were less than happy with the band's latest offering, with some questioning why Turner ditched the guitar and played piano. Loading… Speaking to BBC Radio 1, Turner said: "The guitar had lost its ability to give me ideas. Every time I sat with a guitar I was suspicious of where it was gonna go. I had a pretty good idea of what it might be which is completely contrary to what I felt when I sat at the piano." Advert 10<doc-sep>VIDEO: Alex Turner Shocks Fans By Shaving His Head The Arctic Monkeys frontman has changed his hairstyle, debuting the new look as the band performed The Ultracheese on Stephen Colbert. Alex Turner has gone for a new look, shaving his hair and opting to go for a number two hair cut. The Arctic Monkeys frontman, who's known for changing his look, debuted the dramatic change on The Late Late Show with Stephen Colbert, where they performed their Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino track The Ultracheese. Watch a clip of their performance, which was shot in black and white above. It's not the first time the Four out of Five singer has shocked fans, growing a goatee beard back in 2017, to very mixed reviews. So strong was the reaction to his facial foliage, that some fans even decided to start a petition urging the rocker to shave it off. He then went clean shaven as the band started kicked off their first run of live shows of the year, playing Los Angeles. The change of look comes the day after the band shared the visuals for their sixth album's title track Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino. Watch it here: Like the visuals for Four out of Five before it, the video sees Turner in various guises, and features plenty of nods to Stanley Kubrick.<doc-sep>
Alex Turner shaves his head for performance on The Late Show He now looks like a minor character in Trainspotting Alex Turner is a man of many looks. From his long greasy locks faux-Elvis drawl of the AM era to the fluorescent v-necks from Topman and fringey mop of the Whatever People Say I Am, That's Not What I'm Not breakthrough, he has continued to change and alter his appearance to best suit the music he is playing as the band's sound continues to evolve from album to album. After the release of the divisive (but still excellent, in my honest opinion) Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino, Turner's look was one of the whiskey drinking deadbeat poet rotting away in a Nevada Hotel somewhere, a caricature that appears in many of Tranquility's songs, all sideburns and sorrow and yellow-tint spectacles gazing over from across the bar. Perhaps conscious of his slow transformation into a parody of himself, Turner has now done pretty much the only thing he hasn't tried with his hair - to completely fuck it all off. It looks a bit strange at first, more Tom Hardy as Bane than Brad Pitt in Mr & Mrs Smith, but it does kinda grow on you. Woah, check out the haircut on #AlexTurner! @ArcticMonkeys fans, what do you think??
