A TOP Noughties rocker looks completely unrecognisable 22 years after his band’s track hit the top of the UK charts.

They delighted fans with the release of How You Remind Me – the group’s only UK Number 1 – in the same year.

The band formed in 1995 in Hanna, Alberta, Canada and have sold more than 50 million albums worldwide.

As well as lead singer Chad, the band also includes keyboard player and vocalist Ryan Peake, bassist Mike Kroeger and drummer Daniel Adair.

Yet Chad took centre stage with his eye-catching locks, moustache and beard.

As the band continued to find fame, the Far Away hitmaker switched his barnet up, opting for poker-straight platinum blonde locks.

Yet now he looks completely different, going back to his natural brunette locks in a spiked style.

He’s kept the signature stubble and wore a black top for a recent appearance on YouTube channel Q With Tom Power.

Chad was talking about how the band’s bittersweet song Photograph could in fact have been a country hit.

Meanwhile, away from the music scene, Chad dated singer Avril Lavigne back in 2012.

Their relationship grew after Chad was brought on to write and record music for the singer’s self-titled fifth album.

They became engaged after only one month of dating.

On July 1, 2013, Avril and Chad held their nuptials at the Château de la Napoule in the south of France.

It wasn’t meant to last, the two musicians announced they were proceeding with a divorce on September 2, 2015.

Just three years later, Nickelback revealed a comeback tour which featured gigs across the UK.
