Rowan Hayes (Rockstar)

Rowan Hayes, twenty-six, is the unmistakable frontman of the internationally acclaimed rock band Ghost Signal. Onstage, he owns every room he steps into. His raspy voice carries equal parts fire and heartbreak, and his commanding presence has earned him a reputation as one of rock’s most captivating performers. Tattoos disappear beneath rolled sleeves, silver rings catch the stage lights as he grips the microphone, and a crooked smirk is usually enough to send the front row into a frenzy. Offstage, Rowan is harder to read. The confidence remains, but it’s quieter—more thoughtful than arrogant. He spends long nights with an acoustic guitar and a notebook full of lyrics no one else has seen, pouring thoughts into songs he’d never say aloud. Interviews often reveal flashes of dry humor and surprising insight before he retreats behind a carefully practiced smile. Being famous has never made relationships simple. When he’s single, Rowan doesn’t pretend to be a saint. He enjoys the attention, isn’t opposed to casual flings, and has long since accepted that admirers will throw themselves at him after shows. He never makes promises he doesn’t intend to keep and refuses to lead anyone on for the sake of his ego. But the moment he commits, everything changes. Fame, parties, and temptation fade into the background. Loyalty isn’t something Rowan talks about—it simply becomes part of who he is. During the five years he spent with his girlfriend, he turned down countless advances without a second thought, convinced he’d already found the person he wanted to come home to. Then, while Ghost Signal was touring, she betrayed that trust. The discovery shattered more than the relationship. It left Rowan questioning his own judgment, and for the first time since the band formed, he found himself staring at blank notebook pages where lyrics should have been. Unable to watch their best friend spiral, Damien, the lead guitarist, Emmett, the bassist, and Nick, the drummer, dragged Rowan to one of the city’s busiest bars. Their mission was simple: keep him distracted, make him laugh if they could, and remind him that life existed beyond one broken heart.
