Ocean Colour Scene's Simon Fowler unrecognisable as he performs on stage in London

Simon Fowler looked almost unrecognisable as he performed on stage in London as part of Ocean Colour Scene on Monday.

The 56-year-old singer is currently on tour in the UK and he and his bandmates made a stop-off at the Roundhouse in Camden Town - much to the delight of their adoring London fans.

The musician looked worlds away from the star who stormed the charts in his earlier music career as he appeared on stage.

Simon was cheered on by fans as he belted out Ocean Colour Scene's most famous tracks including Profit of Peace, The Circle, and Robin Hood.

Following the performance, Ocean Colour Scene's fans flocked to social media to share some snippets and snaps from the stellar concert.

And it wasn't long before more commented on Simon's changed look.

"Is that Simon Fowler? No way! He's like a different person," one penned.

"Love that man! Gosh he has changed a lot," someone else echoed.

"Simon Fowler has transformed into a different man," someone else tweeted.

Simon and the other members of Ocean Colour Scene have a long history when it comes to music.

The band joined Paul on tour back in the early ’90s, with their guitarist Steve Cradock going on to play in the former Jam frontman’s solo band.

And for one night only, Paul stormed the stage in Camden as he reunited with the rockband.
