10 musicians who are sweatier than we are this summer

by Anne T. Donahue

Even though you may not be battling the stifling reality that is our Ontario summer (seriously, someone please send help), you’re likely familiar with feeling warm. Hot, even. Really hot. So hot that to be “kind of sweaty” may be a compliment because in reality, you’re sopping wet to the point of looking like the end of an action movie set in a desert within a sauna within the depths of hell. And to the survivors of those instances, we salute you with 10 photos of really, really sweaty musicians. You’re welcome.

10. Jimmy Page

Dedicated to blouse aficionados everywhere.

9. Bruce Springsteen

Sweaty Boss > Regular Boss.

8. Pete Doherty

Shirtlessness and a scarf. Because it makes sense.

7. Juliette Lewis

Still cooler than us.

6. Pharrell Williams

Happier than you are without AC.

5. Gregg Gillis (Girl Talk)

Somebody’s jazzed about drenched locks.

4. Kevin Barnes

Sweat levels will decrease upon riding a horse borderline nude.

3. Ezra Koenig

[Cheesy faux dialogue based on his finger point.]

2. Iggy Pop

Perhaps not even taken while he was onstage.

1. Thom Yorke

All of the jokes.
