Why did roy orbison wear sunglasses?
Some people assume that Roy Orbison was either blind or going blind and that is why he wore his trademark sunglasses. Although his glasses were prescription, he was not blind. It was at a show in England in the 1960’s that Roy realized he’d forgotten his regular glasses and the only pair he had with him was his sunglasses. He had no choice but to wear them. He liked the publicity shots that came from that show and decided to continue wearing the dark sunglasses. Not as dramatic a story as going blind, but I think it’s still a great example of how big things like that happen by chance!
