IT was the ever-changing showbiz barnet that launched thousands of trips to the barbers.

But yesterday tearful fans said a sad farewell to David Beckham’s famously lush locks after the star was snapped on a break in Miami looking worryingly thin on top.

Whether it was a mohawk, buzz cut, cornrows or a bun, 43-year-old Becks could pull it off – and he became a style icon in the process.

But after three golden decades it appears to be curtains for David’s most acclaimed asset.

To pay our respects, we look back at his most inspiring hairdos.
RIP Becks’ barnet, 1995-2018.
