Def Leppard singer Joe Elliott's image is currently being displayed on an elephant in Sheffield, England and more details are available.
The Herd Of Sheffield art project has been set up by a local Children's Hospital charity and is taking place around the city for the next few months.
As mentioned earlier this month, various elephants have been designed and placed around the city.
Joe's face has been included on one of the elephants displayed in Tudor Square (near the Crucible Theatre and Wintergardens).
This elephant is called "Heard Sheffield?" and was designed by an artist called Temper.
The Flickr account called Glass Tiger has posted many photos of the elephants and given more details about Joe's one.
The other stars include all three current members of Human League (the other side of the ass...), Pulp, The Arctic Monkeys and Joe Cocker.
Joe's image is from an Hysteria era photograph.
View some new photos below that were posted online in the last week or so.
Heard Sheffield? - Tudor Square Elephant Details
"Artist: Temper. Sponsor: Henry Boot."
"Heard Sheffield? is a conceptual piece of art created by acclaimed artist Temper."
"This Masterpiece features photorealisitic portraits of some of Sheffield’s greatest musicians from popular culture. Painted entirely freehand in spray paint, this special, highly crafted and technical piece includes Jarvis Cocker, Philip Oakey, Joanne Catherall, Susan Ann Sulley, Joe Cocker, Alex Turner, Joe Elliot, Jon McClure, Roisin Murphy and Oliver Sykes."
"The elephant is black and white and features the hallmark stamp of Sheffield’s assay office behind its right ear to mark how precious it is. A single spray can is held by the elephant within the end of his raised proboscis (trunk) whilst trumpeting. Signed by Temper."
