Dierks Bentley has said goodbye to his thick ’90s-era mustache, after “growing it” for his recent Hot Country Knights performance at Whiskey Row last week. It took a lot of strength for the superstar to part ways with his remarkable ‘stache, however, he did shave it, which is probably for the best, especially to his career, for his marriage and so his kids would stop crying about a stranger being in the house.
