NOUGHTIES pop legend Just Jack looks unrecognisable 15 years after his huge hit, 35m Spotify streams and becoming a dad-of-two.
The singer, 48, is best known for his 2007 tune Starz In Their Eyes.
The musician, who goes by the name Jack Christopher Allsopp, released his first album The Outer Marker in 2002.
But it wasn't until five years later, following a number of live performances on TV, his song Starz In Their Eyes got to number two in the charts.
This led him to perform in a number of popular festivals in the coming years, including Glastonbury Festival, V Festival and T4 on the Beach.
Over the years the star has released five albums, including The Outer Marker, Overtones, All Night Cinema, What We Did Today and most recently, That Was Now.

Just Jack has other popular songs including Glory Days, Writer's Block and The Day I Died.
The star has kept on making music to this day, and juggles that with being a dad.
Although Jack isn't performing at festivals and appearing on the radio that much anymore, he's very happy with how everything has worked out.
Recently chatting to LadBible, Jack confessed: "I never tried to make a big radio hit. I never really wanted to be like a pop star.

“It was a strange time, it was a stressful time.
"I ended up being in a lot of environments that I wasn’t particularly comfortable in.
“I was grateful for the radio plays and stuff like that, but I never felt at home with pop people. That’s never how I saw myself.”
The singer added: "I’ve always been a bit of a control freak. I think being in that world where you have managers and record labels and all these people around you pulling you in lots of different directions and things not always going as planned, there are so many things that you don’t really have control over.
“Now I have full control over literally everything, which obviously can be quite a lot of work. But I couldn’t be happier with that.
"It’s a great feeling and a real privilege to be in that position.”
