Country singer Kane Brown shows off dramatic fitness transformation in viral before and after photos
Kane Brown is proving he is taking his fitness seriously.
The 31-year-old country singer turned heads after he shared before and after photos of his dramatic body transformation on social media.
'From April 1st on the (left) until today (right) I've been super dedicated to fitness and health. I would love others to come on this journey with me,' Brown wrote in his caption on Instagram next to a muscle and 100 emojis.
In the side-by-side shirtless photos, Brown showed off his body tattoos and toned abs as a result of his dedicated fitness.
While the Miles On It singer did not reveal his exact workout routine or diet, Brown invited his fans to join him in his health journey.
'That's wild in less than two months! Congrats!' one fan wrote in the comments section.
Another comment read, 'I've been trying to hype myself up to start running again. Getting started is the hardest part. Congrats on your progress!!'
'Such motivation, I needed this reminder of what discipline and consistency looks like. What are some of your biggest tips? As I start my fitness journey to getting in the best shape of my life,' a fan asked.
The father-of-three is not the only country singer who has been dedicated to his fitness.
Country music star Jelly Roll recently admitted the biggest challenge he faced during his weight-loss journey after he shed nearly 90kg.
'Food, man,' Jelly Roll told Fox News Digital at the 2025 Academy of Country Music Awards.
For the country star, the weight loss was not just about his fitness, but a constant struggle with his relationship with food.
'If you're really battling obesity, you got to start at the dinner table, man. The walking's great, all the other stuff's great, but you got to fight that addiction at the dinner table,' he said.
Jelly Roll has been consistent in his efforts to lose weight, confessing he was addicted to food in the same way that he was previously addicted to drugs.
'The battle was with the food addiction, changing the way I've looked at food for the last 39 years,' he told People last year.
'I've never had a healthy relationship with food, so that was the hard part. But once you get into that discipline and commitment, it's like an avalanche. Once that little snowball started rolling, it was on its way.'
In October 2024, the Son of a Sinner singer shared a video on Instagram, where his trainer noted that he had reached a major milestone in his weight-loss journey.
'We just passed the halfway point of the tour, and Jelly's been crushing it,' his trainer said. 'We're either walking [around] the arena, playing basketball, boxing. He just surpassed his 100-pound (45kg) weight loss.'

U2 singer Bono lays his life bare in one-man stage show Stories of Surrender
"All this saving the world, is it really service, duty, righteous anger, or is it just a childlike desire to be at the centre of the action?" Bono wonders backstage at his sold-out, one-man show at New York's Beacon Theater in 2023. "Desire and virtue is a whole dance." What: U2 singer Bono lays bare his life and career in a one-man stage show, part spoken-word and part solo music performance. Starring: Bono Director: Andrew Dominik Where: Streaming now on Apple TV+ Likely to make you feel: Like falling in love with U2 again — if you're a fan Across a 45-year career as a globe-straddling superstar and activist, the U2 singer has danced the fine line between rock 'n' roll icon and enduring public nuisance. He's been both the voice of one of the biggest bands of the late 20th-century and — to some, at least — a blowhard palling around with celebrities and world leaders. But as the new movie Bono: Stories of Surrender shows, there's a complicated, endearingly contradictory man behind the often-outsized public profile; one whose idealism is frequently troubled by self-doubt, and whose pursuit of stardom stems from a past steeped in loss. Filmed over several nights of his New York residency, Stories of Surrender vividly captures Bono's one-man adaptation of his best-selling 2022 memoir, Surrender, translating the book's revealing candour to the stage with the singer's typically self-reflexive humour. As he quipped to Jimmy Kimmel recently: "I play an aging rock star on a massive ego trip." There are no mirror-balls or giant lemons or jumbotrons broadcasting prank calls to The White House, just a starkly lit stage and a few empty pieces of furniture to stand in for key figures in his life — including the rest of U2, who are nowhere to be found. It begins, as many such stories do, with a health scare that prompts a crisis of faith and life evaluation. "How did I get here?" Bono asks, echoing the words of his contemporary David Byrne, after an operation on his "eccentric" heart in 2016. Still, it's hardly a sombre opening: the star is in full-tilt carnival-barker mode, part preacher, part game-show host, a pair of wraparound shades short of his Zoo TV MacPhisto. Bono's brand of ironic bravado, in which every sincere moment is inevitably chased by a self-deprecating shot, will do little to convince detractors who regard him as the epitome of anti-cool. For U2 fans, however, it's a wonderful reminder of just how adept he is with a pithy turn of phrase or ready-made pop graffiti — he's perhaps the only songwriter to land the line "you're turning tricks with your crucifix" on a major motion picture soundtrack aimed at children. Much of Bono's humour appears to originate from his late father, Bob Hewson, a man who looms over the show despite appearing only as an empty chair and a glass of Black Bush whiskey. Playing both father and son, Bono recreates infrequent pub meetings with his Da, who remains hilariously unimpressed with his kid's success (labelling him "a baritone who thinks he's a tenor"), nor his phone calls from Pavarotti (Bono's impression of the Italian opera giant is among the film's funniest moments). Their relationship was complex. After a 14-year-old Bono lost his mother, who collapsed at his grandfather's funeral ("It sounds almost too Irish, I know," he jokes), his father never spoke of her again. Her death haunted almost every aspect of the rocker's life and career. At the very same time, he would meet his future wife, Ali, and the musicians — The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr, and Adam Clayton — with whom he'd rocket to mulleted 80s stardom. The stories of U2's early adventures are invariably charming, as the teenage band fumbles about to land on their signature sound — at one point Bono urging The Edge to make his guitar "sound like an electric drill into the ear". It's Bono's reckoning with fame that proves to be the real revelation, however, as he and his band mates wrestle with their spiritual beliefs in the wake of new-found celebrity. "Fame is currency," Bono reasons. "You wouldn't need charity if the world was just, so — get the cheque." If the humanitarian act borders on Vegas schtick, Bono is the first to admit it. "I am an over-paid, over-regarded, over-rewarded, over-fed rock 'n' roll star," he says in voiceover, commenting on the action. And whenever the self-therapy pauses for a burst of music, it's hard to resist those soaring pipes, still stirring after all these years and audible wear and tear. 'With Or Without You', delivered here in thorny tribute to his wife, remains as sad and gorgeous as ever, while 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' takes on a new, ghostly power in a stripped back, slowed down performance. Meanwhile, U2's 1988 hit 'Desire' emerges as both a pivotal point in the band's career and a key text in Bono's life, tapping into the tension between the sacred and the profane that the band would toy with on 90s highlights Achtung Baby and Zooropa. "For love or money, money, money," Bono sings, throwing theatrical shapes and channelling late-period Elvis. Even 'Beautiful Day' — arguably the beginning of U2's long decline into musical irrelevance — becomes a moving elegy for the dead, as Bono teases out the melancholy beneath the song's radio-friendly chorus. It's a lovely moment, a tribute to those we've lost and to all the strange little things that somehow keep us going along the way. Haters will burn with renewed fire, but if you've ever had a soft spot for U2, Stories of Surrender may just make you fall in love with them all over again.

World's oldest practising doctor, 102, reveals ‘enemy of longevity'
Most people slow down with age, trading suits and deadlines for slippers and daytime TV. Not Dr Howard Tucker. The American neurologist treated patients for nearly eight decades, earning the Guinness World Record title for oldest practising doctor just before his 99th birthday. Now 102, Dr Tucker may have hung up his white coat, but he hasn't hit the brakes. He spends his days lecturing future doctors at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, and consulting on medical-legal cases, thanks to the law degree he picked up at the age of 67. Oh, and he's gone viral on TikTok while promoting What's Next, a documentary about his life, produced by his grandson. Dr Tucker recently peeled back the curtain on his remarkable run — and how he's stayed sharp, driven, and active well into his second century. 'Retirement, I think, is the enemy of longevity,' Dr Tucker recently told the US Today show's Al Roker. 'You have to have some purpose in life and get up in the morning and know what you're about.' Dr Tucker continued practising medicine until age 100, only stopping when the hospital where he worked shuttered its doors in 2022. If it wasn't for the closure, Tucker told People, he'd 'absolutely' still be seeing patients. He's even 'putting out feelers' for another gig, though he admits, 'nobody wants me at my age'. 'But I'll keep trying,' he said. Dr Tucker has no intention of stepping away from his current workload. But for anyone thinking about throwing in the towel, he's got a word of advice. 'If they retire from their work, they should at least do something as a hobby, whether it be communal work or self-hobbies,' he told Today. 'You need a stimulus for the brain daily.' Science backs him up. Studies show that having a sense of purpose, continually learning new things, and engaging in activities that require problem-solving, creativity, and attention are key for staying mentally sharp into old age. The average American lifespan was 77.5 years in 2022, and Dr Tucker blew past that long ago. His parents lived to 84 and 96, but he said good genes are only part of the equation. 'Heredity and family history of longevity is a healthy start. However, it must be supported by moderation of nutrition, alcohol, and happiness,' Dr Tucker wrote in his Guinness submission. For Dr Tucker, happiness comes from work, his wife of over 70 years, their four kids, 10 grandchildren, and a lifelong love for Cleveland sports. Research shows that people with strong social connections and a positive outlook tend to outlive those who are isolated or depressed. Tucker has also made staying active a lifelong priority. Writing for CNBC, Dr Tucker said he's always avoided letting himself get out of shape. He gave up skiing after a fall in his late 80s left him with a broken neck, but he continues to snowshoe and hits the treadmill for at least four kilometres a day in his home gym. Dr Tucker noted that even small habits make a difference, with studies suggesting just 15 minutes of walking a day can cut the risk of early death by nearly 25 per cent. His diet is simple. On the mindbodygreen podcast, Dr Tucker said he starts his day with seasonal fruit and sometimes cereal, washed down with 2 per cent fat milk and a cup of tea instead of coffee. He usually skips lunch to stay sharp, and dinner is typically fish and vegetables — especially broccoli — with the occasional serving of meat. He and his wife end the day with something sweet, sometimes fruit, sometimes ice cream. Dr Tucker rarely drinks but makes an exception for his favourite cocktail. 'I love my martinis,' he told Medical Economics. He's never touched a cigarette. With his 103rd birthday around the corner in July, Tucker isn't wasting time worrying about the end. 'I never think of death,' he told Today. 'To be alive is to know that you're going to die because life is a fatal disease. And so I live it.'
