Now this guy really surprises me because he never looked that tall when he performed on TV, I am surprised he has that height advantage over Rob.
Marty says on 21/Aug/09
A strong 6 ft1 definately !!! Jon 183cm says on 20/Aug/09
No way is he 5'11". If he was, his eyeline would be about 2 inches above Robs. somebody who is 6'1" usually has their eyeline at the top of sum1s head if they're 5'8". look closely, his head is ever so slightly bent towards Rob. Anonymous says on 2/Aug/09
Right, took an exemple about 2 person height about 5 to 6 inches differences, take a photo and you shall see. Hugh 191cm says on 1/Aug/09
Where is all this 5ft11 and 6ft rubbish coming from. This guy is tall. He's almost 6ft2. Mathew says on 27/Jul/09
I think the average eyeline is more than 10 cm, closer to 12 cm. Although it should vary if your head is tilted up or down. Hugh says on 26/Jul/09
He is clearly not Mathew. Remember Rob's height: 173 cm. Average eyeline-headtop distance: 10 cm. Rob's eyeline-headtop distance=10 cm. So he is under 183 cm for sure. Mathew says on 26/Jul/09
He's clearly above 5'11", Hugh. Hugh says on 24/Jul/09
5'11" in this picture. How can you give him 186 cm??? His eyeline is under your head top Rob, even if he wears cowboy boots!! Lionel says on 27/Jun/09
I don't think cowboys boots give 1.6 inch taller. Hugh 190cm says on 4/Jun/09
George Michael is almost 6ft. John Mayer does close to 6ft3. I'd say Paul Young is between 6ft1 and 6ft2 but closer to 6ft2.
Result: 6ft1.75. Anonymous says on 4/Jun/09
He was maximum 6'1.75 Mark D. says on 30/May/09
6'1" - 6'2" seems accurate. He was in a picture next to the 6'2" John Taylor and seemed slightly shorter. Near the 6'0" George Michael (in the Band Aide Christmas video) he appeared about an inch taller. His bassist, Pino Palladino, is probably 6'6" as he towered over him, and the 6'2" - 6'3" John Mayer. Anonymous says on 29/May/09
No Hugh 190cm, he look nowdays 186 cms. Hugh 190cm says on 26/May/09

The new picture is tricky, if we compared Sandra to Rob it had at least 2 inches differences between both of you even Paul Young were a 1 inch casual dress shoes against a 1.5 inch boots ???
Can someone explain that. sandra says on 3/Dec/08
to be honest. i didnt ask him how tall he was, i saw he was tall and never thought much more than that. i only got a photo with someone i have liked as a teenager. Lenad says on 3/Dec/08
Sandra was Paul closer to 6'1 or 6'2? Lionel says on 2/Dec/08
Too bad, Sandra anyway thanks for those information you gived here sandra says on 1/Dec/08

Rob, beside Paul it seems you look 5'9 if Sandra is 5'7, if we can try to enlarge the picture to the same level. Lionel says on 27/Nov/08
There is a good difference between Rob and Sandra height comparing to Paul Young, so I would say to be 6'2 or perhaps 6'1.75. Anonymous says on 27/Nov/08
Hugh, how tall is your brother ? Anonymous says on 27/Nov/08
What kind of shoes did you and Paul weared, Sandra? Hugh says on 27/Nov/08
Yeah 6ft2 next to Sandra. Mr bro thought he was 6ft3. He saw him backstage at Live Aid. My bro worked as a roadie at the time. sandra says on 26/Nov/08

Yeah Lionel, I saw that video too. Lionel says on 15/Nov/08
I saw a concert with him few years ago and He had nearly a head taller than 5'3 Liane Foly, So I would say 6'2 at least. Leung says on 12/Nov/08
The 5’10” listing Rob has for Rick Astley is questionable; I think he looks closer to 5’8”.
Rob do you actually believe that the little guy dancing around in “Never Gonna Give You Up” could be 2” taller than you??
[Editor Rob: maybe with the amount of hairspray astley used, when the doc tried measuring him his hair couldn't be pushed down? I haven't really looked at astley, I heard he was voted best act ever or something recently on some show...] Anonymous says on 12/Nov/08

He easily toward George Michael by more than 2 inches.Even Phil Collins,Paul Young has nearly a head over him. Anonymous says on 11/Nov/08
Hard to measure him in the 80s if he is 6'1 or 6'2,he had usually long raise hair. Anonymous Bergh says on 11/Nov/08

Paul Young is clearly taller than Darryl Hall by a single inch. Anonymous Bergh says on 11/Nov/08
Rob, does he had a good posture when compared ?
[Editor Rob: I don't think it's much different] Anonymous Bergh says on 11/Nov/08
He is nearly 5 inches taller than 5'9(175 cms) Zucchero so 6'1.5 or possibly 6'2 seems right. Anonymous says on 11/Nov/08
6'1.25,I would say more at least an inch. He looked nearly 3 inches taller than 5'11 George Michael in the 1986 live aid. Josh says on 10/Nov/08
yea I would say only 5'11.5 or 6'0 Amen. Ivan 6'2.25 says on 10/Nov/08
I finally confirmed that height, my 5'9 brother and I took pictures with that pose
and my eyes levels has been my brother 5'9 height even with 1.5 inch boots and my brother 1 inch sneakers,even a small doubt about if Paul had bend a bit or not.
I had a large forehead like Paul Young. Anonymous says on 10/Nov/08
I watch the aid concert in the mid 80s beside Darryl Hall and some camera show they was about the same height and others Young was a bit taller. AnonymousBergh says on 10/Nov/08
Rob,Did he tell you his height or is your estimated.

Rob can you had the measures similar like Brandon Routh and others, please
[Editor Rob: do you mean show the inches, like this Example here?
It takes a bit of time doing that, I need to look at the photo and set the camera up similar height and distance as the original photo is taken...and make sure my head isn't tilted too much up/down before trying to scale the heads to be as precise as possible!
maybe I'll do it monday...] Anonymous says on 7/Nov/08
Rob,What kind of sneakers you had.
[Editor Rob: 1 inch.] Anonymous says on 7/Nov/08
Not convince about this height pictures, if Paul Young is 6'1.25 with boots so Rob
with his sneakers might be 5'10 tall. Ivan 6'2.25 says on 2/Nov/08
This boots like mines had also 1.75 inch and 1.5 inch heels however as I fit in,
I am 0.25 inch shorter than the heels are so as I mentioned earlier. Anonymous says on 2/Nov/08
This is exactly the same boots I saw him in the restaurant as I describe earlier.
So it might be a 1.25 Cowboys boots Ivan 6'2.25 says on 31/Oct/08
Rob,What kind of boots he wears(brown or black).
[Editor Rob: his heel looked the similar size like this one.] Ivan 6'2.25 says on 31/Oct/08
Anonymous,you right to said about Paul Young's boots heels,I had 2 different cowboy boots: the first give me 1.25 inch taller the other 1.5 inch taller.
Let's admits that I have 1 inch shorter(6'1.25)and my 5'9 young brother(or Rob height)peak are in my nose tip level.So if Rob is 5'8, he might be 6'0.25 or 184 cms as Gary had mentioned earlier.Paul Young had at least 1 inch shorter
than mentioned.He might have a inch taller Younger,at least 6'1 whatever "TALL".
By the way, He is one of my favorite singer. Anonymous says on 26/Oct/08
I don't think his boots had 0.6 inch than Rob sneakers(if he had a normal 1 inch sneakers).There are no big difference than Sneakers inch and Boots.
Young's boots had between 1.25 inch(3.5 cms)and 1.5 inch(4cms)heels.
[Editor Rob: he had a cowboy heel which gave about 1.6 inch. I think I have more knowledge of this than you, as I was there :)] Anonymous says on 21/Oct/08
He looks in this pictures with this boots 5'11.5 or 182 cms, his eyes level had Rob height in that posture and a large 3.5 inches Forehead.
I am 6 foot tall and my brother 5'8, we do lots of similar picture from this.
My eyebrows level are 5'8, similar to Paul Young had. Ivan 6'2.25 says on 18/Oct/08
Even if he is under a tad under 6'2 he is really tall (6'1 even he wears boots look to be near 6'2 flat)as well as Stylish too. Lenad says on 15/Oct/08

He Claimed to be near 6'3 in the 80s janice says on 13/Oct/08
Just 0.6 inches footweardifference? That surprises me! I always thought typical heeled cowboyboots (for men) give at least 1.5 inches or more!
[Editor Rob: I'm in 1 inch, he's in about 1.6 inch]

I saw him a couples of weeks ago in a London restaurant with his family, I am 6'1.25 and I had measured my self with boots similar Paul Young had and I am 6'2.5
When I was towered him in the toilet mirror I saw I was slightly taller than him so I would say 6'1 in good posture and 6'2.25 in boots. So Younger he was 6'1.5 tall or 187 cms like some sources describe him in the early 80s. AnonymousBergh says on 10/Oct/08
even with sneakers comparing to boots there is 1 to 1.5 cm difference so in this pictures he looks like a flat 6'0 feet tall. Anonymous says on 10/Oct/08

In a pic of him on stage near Darryl Hall, who's 6'1", he was about the same
