Justin Bieber has attended the launch of his new waxwork at Madame Tussauds in London.


The singer posed with the statue at the famous tourist attraction, although the finished figure currently sports the teen star's old haircut.

A similar waxwork was also unveiled simultaneously at Madame Tussauds in New York – and was surrounded by Bieber's fans.

But the 17-year-old, who is in the UK on tour, is not the first music star to be immortalised in wax. Gigwise has put together a selection of the others.

You can check out pictures of waxworks for the likes of Britney Spears, Beatles' Ringo Starr and Michael Jackson below.

  • Rihanna's waxwork goes on show in London.

  • Justin Bieber at the launch of his new waxwork in London

  • A simple looking Ringo Starr originally used on the sleeve to Sergeant Pepper

  • An equally bad John Lennon head taken from the same shoot

  • Apparently, since it was on display a few years ago, this Britney Spears waxwork has gone into meltdown too

  • Biggie Smalls' mother Voletta Wallace with a waxwork of her son in NYC

  • A pretty abysmal waxwork of Michael Jackson in Las Vegas

  • The legend that is Johnny Cash, immortalised in wax. Shame it doesn’t really look like him.

  • Nope, it’s not Leona Lewis, but Beyonce Knowles.

  • The delightful Kylie Minogue even looks delightful in wax – if that’s your kind of thing…

  • Rumour has it that egomaniacal Bono paid Madame Tussauds to shave ten years off his age with this waxwork. We wouldn’t put it past him.

  • Justin Hawkins from 2004 when The Darkness were still vaguely popular.

  • The King himself, Elvis Presley, posing with fans

  • The Beatles - the not very Fab Four

  • The London unveiling of the Christina Aguilera waxwork in January 2007.

  • Jimi Hendrix on display in New York. It’s a shame they couldn’t do one of him playing his guitar with his teeth

  • Stevie Wonder looking dapper as usual
