I love his music. For those who are wondering why he wears the hat:Jazz and soul singer Gregory Porter has taken to wearing his trademark newsboy cap whenever he makes professional appearances so fans won't recognise him when he wants to enjoy some time away from the spotlight. The Feeling Good star has previously revealed he initially used the fashion accessory to cover up a little skin surgery he had had on his head, but he admits having the hat as part of his look onstage helps to keep his uncovered look a secret - allowing him to enjoy family outings without being mobbed by devotees. Joking about the reason for wearing the cap, he tells WENN, "I think I'm saving it for (U.S. news show) 60 Minutes... 'We want to know Gregory, what lies beneath?'" He continues, "I don't have to wear it, it really is my thing, my fashion, and really, all around the world now it's been my statement - I can't walk around Germany at all without being recognised..." Porter went unnoticed during a recent beach vacation with his wife and baby son, and he is keen to preserve the little privacy he still has. He adds, "I had five days off (recently) and I went to Hawaii with my family and we were just chilling on the beach without my hat, and nobody (recognised me)." However, it was a completely different experience once he put his cap back on at night: "There were German tourists and U.K. tourists there. When I went to dinner they (recognised me)."
