In a feature with The Guardian, Rod revealed that his heroes weren’t the smooth, well-groomed crooners, but beatniks like Eddie Cochran, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Bobby Womack and David Ruffin.

He revealed that he used to go to the hairdressers with Marc Bolan, and that his hairstyle was inspired by the punks and mods of London’s swinging 60s scene. He also revealed that he uses mayonnaise to keep his hair in shape (you decide whether he’s being serious or not).
