Will Young takes pills to stop losing his hair.

The 'Hopes and Fears' singer started losing his locks four years ago so took medication in a bid to get it to grow back, and while it is working, he is worried his hair will start falling out again.

He said: "I love my hair - my barber, Paul, has given me a 50s style with a bit of a quiff. I take Propecia pills for my hair, because I started losing it four years ago.

"It's a horrible thing - it's emasculating and you just feel you aren't sexy any more. The pills worked and my hair grew back, but I am sure they'll stop working."

Young also says he feels he has now grown into his style.

He told Britain's Guardian newspaper: "I am happy with my style. I feel like a man now. I felt like a little boy before, but then I suppose I was one.

"James Brown told me to always dress smart and, since he passed away, I try to for work. Really, I am not a smart person - I've always been scruffy, a bit Oxfam."
