Tim McGraw surprises with bold shaved head look: See the photos
Tim McGraw could stay cool this summer with a cowboy hat, but the singer has opted for a more drastic style measure. The country music icon, known for his signature look of form-fitting jeans, a T-shirt and his preferred black cowboy hat, is rocking a shaved head look, as seen in new photos. In one photo, McGraw, who's been back in the studio in Nashville, Tennessee, working on new music, is seated in the front seat of his vehicle while wearing a pair of green cargo trousers with a fitted burgundy tee, brown sunglasses and blue sneakers. 'I stand for what I stand for': Tim McGraw is firm in his beliefs and love of his family Aside from working on his next musical era, McGraw is also expected to return to the stage on Saturday, Aug. 2, with a headlining pregame concert at the MLB Speedway Classic in Bristol, Tennessee. Singers Pitbull and Jake Owen are also expected to perform at the event. The upcoming concert comes a month after McGraw was forced to pull out of his July 21 performance at the inaugural Best of the West bull riding and music festival in Fort Collins, Colorado, due to his recovery from recent back surgery. Country-rock band Cross Canadian Ragweed was tapped to be his replacement. "We're sending our very best to Tim for a quick recovery and hope to see him at a future PBR event," event organizer Professional Bull Riders said in a June 23 statement on Instagram. 'Happy freaking Pride': Tim McGraw's daughter Gracie McGraw comes out as queer Tim McGraw opens up about multiple back, knee surgeries During a May interview on "The Bobby Bones Show," McGraw, who last toured with the 2024 Standing Room Only Tour, opened up about how his touring activity was impacted by health issues with his back and knees, revealing he underwent three back surgeries and double knee replacements within a span of six to eight months. "I had a back surgery before tour last year, and that sort of went south on me at the beginning of the tour, and sort of compensating for that, my knees went out like three weeks into the tour," McGraw, 58, explained, adding that he was also forced to resign from his role in an untitled Netflix series. "So, I had to finish the tour with my knees completely gone and my back gone, and as soon as I got off tour, I went in and had the surgeries done," the singer continued. "I had my knee surgeries done, and then in the process of recovering from my knee surgeries, my back went out again and I had to have another back surgery." Contributing: Melissa Ruggieri, USA TODAY
