Anthony Kiedis, Jon Bon Jovi and more rock stars in their 50s, Though it's hard to imagine, even the wildest rock stars eventually grow up. Take Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who spent most of his 20s jamming out with his shirt off. But is he more tame now? Since it's the "Scar Tissue" singer's 52nd birthday on Nov. 1, click through to find out what Anthony and more rock stars in their 50s are doing today.
Anthony Kiedis is still singing for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who released their 11th album dubbed "I'm With You" in 2011. But he's come a long way since the band started in 1983. He's overcome drug addiction, is the proud father of his 7-year-old son Everly Bear from his relationship with Heather Christie and has been dating much younger model Helena Vestergaard since 2012.
In 1983, Jon Bon Jovi formed the rock band Bon Jovi and the rest was history. Between the major success of the group with songs like "You Give Love a Bad Name" and his heartthrob image, he was destined for rock fame.
Jon Bon Jovi, 52, has been happily married to his high school sweetheart Dorothea since 1989 -- a rare occurrence in the unruly world of rock n' roll. The couple has four kids together: Stephanie, Jesse, Romeo and Jacob. And Jon's still jammin' out with Bon Jovi, whose most recent album "What About Now" was released in 2013.
Bono started out as a mere teenager singing lead vocals for the Irish rock group U2 back in 1976, when they were still called Feedback and later the Hype. By 2005, the "Sunday Bloody Sunday" group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Even at 54 Bono hasn't stopped playing with the Grammy-award winning group U2, who just released their 13th album dubbed "Songs of Innocence." As for his love life? He's happily married to Alison Hewson with whom he's had four kiddos. And he's still rockin' his signature shades per usual.
Since 1985, Axl Rose has been bringing down the house as the lead singer for Guns N' Roses. The "Sweet Child o' Mine" singer has a vocal range like no other.
Axl Rose, 52, went on to make six albums with Guns N' Roses, who were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. But his personal life wasn't as great. He divorced model Erin Everly after a year of marriage in 1991 and went on to have a very tumultuous relationship with Stephanie Seymour. He was rumored to have dated singer Lana Del Rey in 2012, but as of now he's seemingly single.
In his prime Tommy Lee of Motley Crue was one wild rock star. The tattoo-clad drummer lived it up while performing with the heavy metal group since their start in 1981 with the album "Too Fast for Love."
Even at 52, we're not sure Tommy Lee will ever tone it down. Married and divorced three times, he had two sons with his third wife Pamela Anderson. The duo made waves when their sex tape was leaked in 1995, and continued to have an on-and-off romance years after their initial split. But as of 2014, he's engaged to Sofia Toufa.
Free spirit Lenny Kravitz was known for his funky ensembles when he started out as a solo rocker in the late '80s. After producing music for Madonna and Aerosmith, his own songs like "Are You Gonna Go My Way" started to top the charts.
Aside from still rockin' on stage, Lenny Kravitz is also a proud father. He's close with his daughter Zoe Kravitz from his marriage to "The Cosby Show" actress Lisa Bonet. After their divorce in 1993, Lenny dated the likes of Vanessa Paradis and Adriana Lima. But the 50-year-old is seemingly on the market now.
Richie Sambora got his start as the guitarist for the rock band Bon Jovi, but also released three solo albums throughout his care
In 2007, Richie Sambora went to rehab for issues with alcohol, but was still charged with a DUI the following year. He went back for treatment in 2011 and has since been on the mend. The 55-year-old has daughter Ava from his marriage to Heather Locklear. Since their divorce he dated the likes of Cher and Denise Richards, but is now reportedly with Australian singer, Orianthi.
Eddie Van Halen and his brother Alex Van Halen had the idea to get a band together in the '70s, and Van Halen was born. His amazing skills on the guitar became a staple of the group.
At 59 years old, Eddie Van Halen is still strumming away as part of Van Halen. And now his son Wolfgang, from his relationship with ex Valerie Bertinelli, is part of the band too. In 2009, he decided to give marriage another try and said his vows to Janie Liszewski.
Nikki Sixx made a name for himself at the bassist for the rock band Motley Crue alongside Tommy Lee in the early '80s. But he also created a bunch of side bands like Brides of Destruction and Sixx:A.M.
Nikki Sixx's love life has been wild to say the least. He has four children from two failed marriages to Playboy playmates and had an on-and-off romance with tattoo artist Kat Von D. And now the 55-year-old's expecting a child with his current wife Courtney Bingham. But one thing's stayed the same -- he's still a rocker, and one that's overcome substance abuse at that.
With Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx on instrumentals, Vince Neil was the rockin' voice of Motley Crue since 1981. He whipped his long blond locks all over the stage for years.
Vince Neil, 53, has been divorced three times and is currently separated from his fourth wife. He had three kids from his previous relationships, though his daughter Skylar tragically passed away from cancer at the age of four. The rocker had a few run-ins with the law over the years from a DUI to battery charges, but he seems to have cleaned up his act now.
Flea, whose real name is Michael Peter Balzary, became the untamed bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers when the rock band formed in 1983. He clearly wasn't too fond of wearing clothes ...
Nowadays Flea, 52, wears more clothing but is still the crazy rocker we grew to love with colorful hair and a flair for the bass. He dabbled in acting during his music career and is set to return to the big screen in the 2014 flick "Low Down." He's currently married to Frankie Rayder, with whom he has a daughter Sunny. While his first child Clara was from a previous marriage.
Duff McKagan got his start as the bassist for Guns N'Roses back in the '80s. When he decided to leave the rock band in 1997, he played for other groups like Velvet Revolver and Jane's Addiction.
Duff McKagan, 50, was married twice before he walked down the aisle with Susan Holmes in 1999. But the third time was the charm! The happy couple has settled down with their two daughters. While Duff's still a rock star, he's also started a successful writing career.
