Fans recognize these superstars for their musical talent and their towering height!
From a man who sings about a woman’s awe-inspiring physique to a guy who has no fear of changing
names and beliefs, here are twelve of the tallest men in music:
12.
Tyson Ritter - This Oklahoma-born singer and songwriter gained most of his fame through
the band, the All-American Rejects, for which he is the lead vocalist, pianist, and bassist.
Their albums include a self-titled work from 2002, Move Along from 2005, and Kids in the
Street from 2012.
This group has had plenty of hit songs, like “Dirty Little Secret” and “It Ends Tonight.”
This guy has dabbled in a lot of work outside of music as well.
Ritter is known for acting in shows like Parenthood from 2013 to 2014 and even worked alongside
Drew Barrymore in the 2015 film, Miss You Already.
This dark-haired, blue-eyed stud has also received a lot of recognition for his good
looks.
The fashion company, Hugo Boss, hired him as a model in 2009 where he posed for their
spring collection.
It’s no surprise he received a modeling contract with those cheekbones!
Plus, Ritter is tall and slender.
At 6’1”, he doesn’t have to look up to much, but a lot of people sure look up
to him!
11.
Robert Plant - This classic rocker became famous for his work in the band, Led Zeppelin,
for which he sang lead vocals.
After the group separated in late 1980, Plant went off on his own to pursue a solo career.
His albums include 1982’s Pictures at Eleven, 1990’s Manic Nirvana, and Band of Joy in
2010.
He’s performed with various other famous artists throughout his long-standing career,
like Phil Collins, who played drums for his 1983 tours, and Jimmy Page, the original guitarist
of Led Zeppelin.
He formed a duo with the latter, named Plant and Page, which lasted from 1994 to 1998.
In 2008, he was placed at number fifteen in Rolling Stone’s list of best singers of
all time, and in 2009 Planet Rock named him “greatest voice in rock.”
Although his raw talent and iconic name have won him plenty of attention since he stepped
onto the scene in 1965, this musician is also known for his taller-than-average height.
Plant stands at 6’1”, making his physical presence on stage match his exceptional vocal
ability.
10.
John Mayer - This Connecticut-born singer and guitarist has been a huge name in the
music business since he began his career in 1998.
He started a duo with his friend, Clay Cook, named LoFi Masters.
But, the two split apart because of their different tastes in music genres, and Mayer
went off to achieve his aspirations as a solo artist.
Some of his albums include Heavier Things from 2003, Battle Studies from 2009, and more
recently, The Search for Everything, which released last year.
A few of his hit songs are “Your Body Is a Wonderland,” “Daughters,” and “Half
of My Heart.”
He has won several awards for his work as well, including a Grammy for Song of the Year
in 2005, and a 2009 Grammy for Best Solo Rock Vocal.
However, this brown-haired, dark-eyed heartthrob is known for more than just his musical talent.
He’s a bit taller than your average Joe.
At 6’3”, John Mayer is reaching for the stars, and not just figuratively.

- Unfortunately this famous rapper was lost to the world in 1997, but his legend lives
on by the impact he made on modern music.

with his stage name, The Notorious B.I.G. or Biggie Smalls.
Some of his songs include “Kick in the Door,” “Everyday Struggle,” and “One More Chance.”
After he passed, people continued to admire his musical talent.
He was called “greatest rapper of all time” in an issue of The Source in 2002 and was
labeled as number three on MTV’s “Greatest MCs of All Time” list in 2006.
He also had a clothing line during his short-lived career, called Brooklyn Mint.
It was later started up again by Wayne Barrow, Mark Pitts, and Jay-Z, who put Biggie’s
photographs on the products, and decided to donate some of the profits to the Shawn Carter
Scholarship and Christopher Wallace foundations.
He also left the world with a son and daughter, whose names are C.J. and T’yanna.
But, this rapper gained recognition for his height as well.
The Notorious B.I.G.
stood 6’3”, and left a tremendous impression on people with his music and stature.

a Rastafarian priest during a trip to Jamaica, and the alias, DJ Snoopadelic, under which
he put out some electronic music.

Snoop Dogg has received many awards for his work, such as a 1994 MTV Music Video Award,
