The singer is no doubt a legend and is considered one by millions of people around the world.

Now, 72 years old, the singer has been in the spotlight as a singer since he was a young teenager at 13 years old! However, many had never seen the singer without sunglasses. As he had become blind shortly after his birth due to unfortunate circumstances. The singer was born premature and had to be incubated. When oxygen was pumped into his incubator, it worsened the condition for the blood vessels behind his eyes, causing him to go blind.

But he has never let his disability stop him from achieving greatness. By the age of 9, the singer could play multiple instruments including the piano and drums!

Now the pictures of him without sunglasses are going viral. A video of the singer from his 1989 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony has resurfaced. People have taken pictures of the singer as he delivers his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Speech. In the video, the singer appears without sunglasses.

In the speech, the singer first appears with his signature black glasses. He asks everyone in the room to stop. And takes off his sunglasses. He requests the audience to close their eyes for a moment, as he takes them through an experience from his life.
