Behind Andy's Jawline - 'Certifiable' Photo Airbrush Vanity?

Finally got 'Certifiable' (thanks ebay for providing affordable options!).
I am certain that at least half of the photos of Andy have been doctored ala the heavy circulation 2007 shot from the Whiskey (the original and the doctored version were very telling). Truth is, Andy has a turkey-neck... and it's nowhere to be seen in the 'Certifiable' package artwork. It looks quite obviously doctored and I'm disappointed - as if this would affect album sales - and as if Andy would give a tinker's cuss!

Andy loved being a pretty boy, so I bet he's secretly grateful to have the turkey-neck removed

I actually realized this myself but didn't realize it had been computered out, i was just thinking "what a great photographer to make andy look so young!"

He is still a beautiful talented man, comfortable in his own skin, no matter how loose. I'll always love him!

Just my two cents:
I've had the pleasure of seeing Andy up close and personal a few times in the recent past and found that he looks incredible for his age.
I think most guys would be damn lucky to look half as good as Andy when they get to his age.
Lesson learned - trips to Timbuktu and Zanzibar keep you young.

I'm with lilrock. 'Pretty' is the preserve of a small proportion of the young in years - and that's fine. It is possible to be pretty and interesting, but interesting generally comes with a few wrinkles.
BTW Trips to Zanzibar won't keep you looking young, as they require copious sunscreen and anti-malarials - but half a day in the music school is good for the soul.

He's a most beautiful man I've ever met in my life until now.
He still has that mischievous smile & child in his eyes, so cute.
I'm sure you will notice how charming he is If you meet him.
I wish If I will able to be look so young when I become his age

i never meant to suggest the man ain't positively supernatural in his youthful appearance, i was only stating that the artwork for 'certifiable' has been doctored..

look at my avatar for an un-airbrushed photo. Sadly there was no red eye reduction done either.
To be fair ...

Photos of this type are routinely airbrushed/photoshopped/doctored in promotional, marketing and product materials these days, even for young gorgeous models. It's just a routine part of the business, for better or worse, and Certifiable isn't any different from the rest.
And I'll agree with all the others that Andy looks fantastic for his age.
