Aussie Guitar Star Who Tour with Michael Jackson Looks Unrecognizable in Glam New Photos

BBG News

She’s the Aussie guitar goddess who once rocked the stage with Prince and Michael Jackson.

But Orianthi looked worlds away from her edgy rocker roots in stunning new photos.

Born in Adelaide, the 40-year-old musician recently took fans by surprise when they saw some stunning new pictures he posted on social media.

The “According To You” celebrity radiated elegance and refinement while striking a pose next to an electric guitar in this snapshot.

Clad in a deep-v neckline white jumpsuit that’s also a jacket, and tall purple boots, Orianthi exuded self-assuredness, posing seductively amidst a backdrop bathed in violet light.

The musician, personally chosen by Michael Jackson for the cancelled This Is It tour and subsequently becoming globally recognized, has consistently embodied a stylish blend of glamour and rock.

Yet, her recent appearance – featuring immaculate skin, full lips, and impeccably arranged hair – has caused fans to do a second glance.

In my observations, I found myself nearly taken aback by the transformation from her early stage appearances, where I knew her for her striking edgy eyeliner, effortlessly messy beachy hair, and a style that exuded a relaxed vibe.

Even though it’s been some time, she still flaunted the same playful smile and stylish aviator shades that were her signature look back in the 2000s.

At present, the entertainer is traveling through both the United States and Europe, thrilling audiences with standout moments from her recent shows.

In 2009, Orianthi gained prominence through her electrifying guitar performance accompanying Carrie Underwood at the Grammys and by being appointed as the lead guitarist for Michael Jackson’s This Is It concert series, a position she held until the tour was unfortunately canceled due to his untimely demise.

She has released five studio albums, with her most recent, titled Rock Candy, releasing in 2022.

2018 marked the end of a four-year romantic partnership between Richie Sambora, formerly of Bon Jovi, and musician Orianthi. However, they emphasized that their professional musical collaboration would continue.

Born in New Jersey, the Grammy-winning artist is two and a half decades senior to his girlfriend, who hails from Australia with the last name Panagaris. Together with her, they make up the musical group commonly recognized as RSO.

The musical duo expressed their gratitude to everyone who purchased the latest RSO album, ‘Radio Free America’ (released in May), and attended their concerts, stating they are deeply thankful and appreciative of each one of you. (Source: TMZ)

‘During the summer, we’ll be stepping back from our music to spend time on family matters and personal projects. Don’t worry though, we’ll reunite soon! Until then, keep the peace, love, and remember your support means everything.’

Richie admired the depth of spirit Orianthi showed for someone her age, and they started dating right away after being introduced by their mutual acquaintance, Alice Cooper.

‘There was no hesitation with anything,’ Sambora gushed to Guitar World back in October 2017.

From the get-go, we found ourselves as a pair without much deliberation on separating our musical and personal lives. The idea of maintaining a division between these aspects never truly crossed our minds.

The individual fond of wigs, previously employed by Michael Jackson, remarked: ‘I believe our shared passion for playing the guitar significantly contributed to our success.’

‘We share a language, and we have so much respect for each other. That makes everything easier.’
