James Toseland - 2 time World Superbike Champion and now rock star
James Toseland raced motorbikes from 1998 to 2011. He won the World Superbike Championship in 2004 and 2007 and raced in MotoGP in 2008 and 2009. He retired from bike racing in 2011 due to injury.
And now he's back as a fully fledged rock star. His song Life is Beautiful has been playlisted on Planet Rock Radio and his band, Toseland, will play at this year's Download Festival.
Jacques Villeneuve famously released a couple of albums of folky dirge and Lewis Hamilton has been recording a rap album but James is the first person to take the step from being a professional racer to a professional musician - and do it well.
Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden is another Renaissance Man. As well as fronting the world's largest heavy metal band he's an airline pilot, and is launching his own airline.
