Moby has admitted that he often gets mistaken for R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe.

The bald artist has said that frequently gets approached for autographs but it is often a case of mistaken identity on the part of fans, a problem which has also plagued Stipe himself when Moby fans have got the wrong idea.

He told OK! magazine: "The truth is, a lot of bald, Caucasian men resemble each other. But if you look closely at us, we don't really look alike.

"One time, I was signing autographs at a radio concert and one girl came up to me. She was shaking and emotional when she asked for my autograph but when she realised it was me and not Michael Stipe, she looked very disappointed.

"I was almost tempted to forge his name."
