You actually wouldn't recognise him.

The Script start their Freedom Child tour in February and Danny O'Donoghue has opted for a new look to coincide with the run of concerts. Taking to Twitter today, the frontman uploaded a photo of his new blonde do with the caption "Do blondes have more fun? I guess I’m gonna find out #FreedomChildTour ". His fans are pretty shocked by the major style change and many questioned the move, leaving comments on his tweet.

One said "Oh my god what the hell have you done?", another wrote "please tell me this is fake" and someone else suggested he was experiencing "the start of a mid-life crisis". It's definitely a major change from the dark black hair we're used to but if Danny's happy, that's all that matters. In saying that, it does remind us of a 90s boyband style, circa Brian McFadden at the height of Westlife's fame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HTexqxo1og The Freedom Child tour kicks off next month with one Belfast date on February 6, followed by three dates in Dublin on February 8,9 and 10. They then return to The Marquee in Cork on June 25.
