Old-age-home residents recreate iconic album covers

As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to take lives and infections increase, the elderly are the most vulnerable.

This has meant that many senior citizens have been and will continue to be in lockdown for months.

Residents at the Sydmar Lodge Care Home in England are no different.

So, activities manager at the home, Robert Speker wanted to keep spirits up while they couldn’t have visitors or outside visitors.

Thus, a brilliant project was born, re-creating classic album covers with residents cast as the music stars.

Speker took to social media to post the side-by-side photos of the original covers and the remakes.

They are fun and have gotten quite some attention online.

"I made the suggestions of which albums and which resident best suited the look, or had a vague similarity to the artist," Speker explained on Twitter. "Then I proposed the idea to each resident. Gladly all of them were enthused and perhaps a bit bemused by the idea, but happy to participate."
