You might know Axl Rose and Elton John by their stage names – but that's not what their mother's call them.

In our latest gallery we've compiled all the musicians that use an alias when they perform on stage – and just why they choose to do so.

From Freddie Mercury to Bon Jovi, this gallery really has got them all.
