Being vertically challenged can lead to all manner of strange psychological syndromes, one of which is the desire to become a pop star, which is why a disproportionate number of our musical heroes are a tad on the mini side. Here is our short list, quite literally...
10. Billy Joel
The American piano maestro is a mere 5ft 5 ½ but still likes a leggy woman if first wife Christie Brinkley is anything to go by...
9. Kylie
“She lies about her height!” says sister Danni. “Kylie always says she's 5ft 1in. But she is so not. She is actually 5ft.”
8. Prince

2. Paul Simon
What really caused the tension with Art Garfunkel? Some say it was Garfunkel’s acting career. It was actually the fact that Simon was constantly overshadowed by a dude who’s 6 ft tall..and 6 ft 5 with the 'fro...
1. Mark Owen
At 5ft 6 Mark has made a very successful career of being the little cute one in Take That. Aaaahh, bless....
