Celebrate These Red Hot Redheaded Musicians!
In honor of all the red hot gingers out there, today we're looking back on some of the more surprising or iconic redheads in the music world. By Brittany CarsonTen years ago on American Idol, Clay Aiken, a fan favorite, sported dark brown hair and dyed eyebrows to match! Since then, the naturally ginger-haired Aiken has become a household name—having recorded over 4 successful albums and penned a New York Times best-selling book, acted in the Broadway production of Spamalot, and competed on Celebrity Apprentice in 2012 (he came in second). In 2008, within a month of each other, Aiken announced the birth of his son Parker Foster Aiken and came out on the cover of People magazine. Most recently, Aiken has put his ginger locks in the running for Congress in North Carolina. He won the Democratic primary and will face off in the November general election.
