Their bassist went bald very early in their career. I think he had hair for their first album, the second he had some, then he just shaved. Their singer though had a much more gardual loss.

This is him in 1998 http://numbskullshows.com/photos/jpgs/70.jpg

A few years later he had a bit more hair loss, but nothing noticable, NW2 territory (bassist is in back, poor guy... http://img1.motolyrics.com/3/32/33249/matt-skiba-original.jpg

In 2005 it's starting to get noticable, but he wears it well https://destroyanews.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/tumblr_mexan62qbq1r0840ho1_1280.jpg?w=604&h=401

In 2010 http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...our2010.JPG/220px-MattSkibaWarpedTour2010.JPG

Very clearly going at this stage, though he's still making the most of what he's got.

He really made the most of his hair while he had it, even when it was going, he always styled it well rather than shave and hit the gym hard. Doesn't hurt that he's a handsome rock star with a good head shape of course, but he fought male pattern baldness quite gracefully.

Here's the band a couple of years ago. All bald.

Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker from Blink 182 are also losing, though they've had most of their hair until well into their 40s so it's hardly a tragedy.

Personally I think his hair still looks pretty good, even with the obvious hair loss.
