He is a Hindu rock-and-roll singer, but apparently, he has not
undergone the namakarana ceremony as prescribed by Hinduism Today, but
I don't think it's because he can't afford the $900.
Either that, or he has chosen to use his former name rather than his
Hindu name, and as a result, he is receiving no spiritual benefits,
according to Hinduism Today.
