Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd turns 41 today, and if there’s one thing anyone knows about seeing Incubus live, it’s this:  It’s only a matter of time before Boyd loses his shirt.  (Think about it.  Has he ever kept his shirt on for an entire performance?  Perhaps he has, but it’s extremely rare.)  

Of course, Boyd isn’t the only rocker that can’t stay fully clothed.  Here’s a gallery of some of our favorite musicians that, frankly, are allergic to their shirts.
