Eddie Van Halen, who's better known as the frontman of Van Halen, had his hip replaced in 1999 after living with chronic pain and reduced mobility for a few years. Clocking in at age 61 today, Van Halen underwent the procedure at just 44 years young. The surgery was to nip his avascular necrosis (a condition causing bone death and decay) in the bud. By all accounts, Van Halen's 17-year-old replacement is still kicking it.
With complications from a hiking accident and the diagnoses of a degenerative bone condition in 1996, Journey frontman Steve Perry was on the fast-track to hip replacementville.

Perry eventually had a hip replacement in 1998.
