I’ve seen Paul close up quite a few times and I’d say his peak height was more like 6’2”.
Sandy Cowell said on 2/May/23
I saw Paul singing in the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert, which is still an excellent watch. It had so many stars, including Roger Daltrey and Robert Plant, as well as all three remaining members of Queen.
Paul Young gets 6ft1. It was lovely to see how effectively rock stars can raise money for good causes.
Sandy Cowell said on 23/Nov/22
I watched the video of ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ the other day and yes, Paul did seem as tall as 6ft1.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/May/21
Weak 6ft1 today
Mikester said on 28/Mar/21
with the cowboy boots i'm struggling to give him the full 6ft1... might be the angle of the photo.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Aug/20
Strong 6ft1 range peak is very possible for Paul. Watching the Band Aid video he looked a good 2in taller than Sting and George Michael. Also not too dissimilar to Geldof and Lebon (both 6ft1½-2)
Chris Junior Hernandez 1990 said on 31/Oct/19
He atually look 6'0 with Rob. But i doubt a peak Paul below 6'1-6'1 1/4 and probably 6'0 3/4 in person now.
Onge said on 8/Jul/19
I’ve seen Paul Young a few times in the streets and he was in the 6’1” to 6’2” range in his prime.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 19/Mar/19
He’s over that Christian but maybe a little under 6ft1 today
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 18/Mar/19
Looks max 6'0.25" in the photo.
Christian 6'5 3/8" said on 18/Mar/19
@Rob
I doubt that his head's that much longer than your's.
SnerhagAip777 said on 15/Mar/19
Rob, how long did his head look?
Editor Rob
Harder to say because he did have a bit of thick hairstyle, but I'd probably say in 9.5-10 range.
slothee said on 10/Jul/18
Maybe it’s the camera angle, but he doesn’t look much over 6ft
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/Dec/17
Peak: 186.3cm
Today: 184.7cm
May have lost a bit at 60...but I think he could have cleared 6ft1 in his prime
Andy said on 6/Nov/17
He's Either 6ft 1in Or 6ft 2in.
Victor Surratt said on 26/Jun/17
1.85-1.86 max
World Citizen said on 8/Jun/17
Looks 182 cm.
Rory said on 2/Apr/17
Only 51 here, hard to see him having lost much height at all. Claims 6ft1 and that's what he looks, I think on the whole he does like big footwear which means he looks 186-7 in them.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Oct/16
186-187cm peak
Peter 179cm said on 12/Jul/16
Max 183-184cm with footwear advantage,no more than ~182cm/5'11.5 range,imo.
Pierre said on 17/Jun/16
i see him around 5 inches taller than Rob in this picture,so without cow boy boots i think he would be around 3.5 inches taller than Rob so around 5"11.5.A little more because he seem have a strong forehead.Around 6"0' for me.
Editor Rob
remember I have an inch sneaker, he has a cowboy boot that looked 1.6-1.7 inch, not as big as 2 inches.
movieguy said on 30/Apr/16
Yeah, a celebrity who doesn't exaggerate their height which makes a change. At least 6'1'' perhaps a little more.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 16/Mar/15
I'm shocked he's only 6ft1. He's listed 6ft3 in most places and I believed that he was. Probably in boots.
Rob, is 186-187cm peak a possibility?
Charlie said on 22/Nov/14
"Hob" r u nuts? Ofc cowboy boots are not 2 inches...most likely 3 cm, 4 cm maximum, this dude i clearly not under 6ft1 but you are clearly short since u want him to only be 6 ft wich makes u feel better.
avi said on 29/Jun/13
Didn't notice he was cowboy boots! In that case he looks close to 6'2 but 6'1 is what he is.
Stephen said on 8/Jan/13
solid 6'1 yea tall man
Modorx said on 30/Sep/12
Rob does belly fact affect height and posture?
Editor Rob
very big belly might effect a bit more than just being a couple of stone overweight.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 8/Aug/12
Ok...he claims 6ft1. But there is always
that rare occasion where a celebrity may
round it down a wee bit. 185cm is fair. But I don't think we should
rule out the possibility that Paul Young may be 186cm.
I think at this point it can be accepted that he wears boots
that make him look 6ft2+.
Hob said on 7/Aug/12
cowboy boots was not under 2inches. if rob was 5'9 in sneakers which consider he bend a little up here, he should be a flat 6'0
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/Jul/12
He's 185cm max in the picture with
the slouch, losing an inch. Since he has a
shoe advantage he'd be 188cm with better posture.
So chop off 1-2cm.
IMO, his true height is 6ft1.4(186.5cm)
ChiasmataX said on 16/Jan/12
Any guesses above 185cm for this guy are absurd. He's not taller than the guy from height challenge # 8. If we take away Paul's footwear advantage, he will be nearer to the guy from height challenge # 10. Rob got this guy bang on at 185cm.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 15/Jan/12
Rob do you Paul could be between 6ft1 and 6ft2?
Editor Rob
it's always possible to lose a fraction of height by 50's, but I didn't think he was 6ft 2.
fricanman said on 23/Dec/11
I toured the UK with Paul and his band in 1983 on the "No Parlez" tour. At that time I would suggest he was easily 6'2" possibly even 6'3". At the time he routinely wore very flat shoes because his stage show was very energetic, so heels would have been a major hazard!
Dmeyer said on 21/Dec/11
Did hé apear 187cm because of boots or how tall did hé look not counting footwear
Editor Rob
between 6ft 1 and 2 range
ANDREA[ITA] said on 7/Dec/11
if he had that advantage, he looks no more than 6'0 here!

In pic he came near 6'0. In person he is 6'1.
Josh B said on 18/Jul/11
He is in boots in the picture, and is nowhere near 6"3, he's pushing 6"1 with them on lol
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 12/Jun/11
Probably 6ft3 in boots
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Jun/11
Now I see where the 6ft3 and 6ft4 came from...I still think he's near 6ft2
Ejel Khan said on 31/May/11
Paul is from my home town - Luton. I've seen him, when he's been visiting relatives in town, and performing with his Tex Mex band Los Pacaminos. He always wears cowboy boots, even when he's not performing with his band. Tall guy, but appears even taller because of the boots. 6'1", is a good estimate for him, however he has claimed up to 6'3" in the past.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 17/May/11
Up straight he'd look 187cm or 188cm
James said on 15/May/11
Actually he looks at least 6'1 with rob like maybe 186cm.

He's a weak 6ft2...looked around the same as Simon LeBon in the Band Aid music video
Chameleon said on 31/Mar/11
Yeah SAK I agree.
SAK said on 30/Mar/11
The difference here looks about 4 inches, ok I take into consideration that Young's posture is not great, but he also has shoe advantage.
I would say he is 184cm/6ft0.5 @ most.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 20/Mar/11
He looks 6ft0.75(185cm) with bad posture with Rob...
Upstraight I think he's 6ft1.5 or even 6ft2
James said on 26/Feb/11
184cm next to rob and would appear 182cm or 183cm if he did not have footware advantage
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Jan/11
Almost 6"2
Prudence said on 26/Dec/10
In the video Do they know it's Christmas by Band Aid
Click Here (If that doesnt work, type Band Aid-Do They Know It's Christmas 1984), It looks like Paul Young is 6'1 compared to 6'4 Tony Hadley (Spandau Ballet) on 2:52-2:53.

George Michael is almost 6ft. John Mayer does close to 6ft3. I'd say Paul Young is between 6ft1 and 6ft2 but closer to 6ft2.
Result: 6ft1.75.
Anonymous said on 4/Jun/09
He was maximum 6'1.75
Mark D. said on 30/May/09
6'1" - 6'2" seems accurate. He was in a picture next to the 6'2" John Taylor and seemed slightly shorter. Near the 6'0" George Michael (in the Band Aide Christmas video) he appeared about an inch taller. His bassist, Pino Palladino, is probably 6'6" as he towered over him, and the 6'2" - 6'3" John Mayer.

Let's admits that I have 1 inch shorter(6'1.25)and my 5'9 young brother(or Rob height)peak are in my nose tip level.So if Rob is 5'8, he might be 6'0.25 or 184 cms as Gary had mentioned earlier.Paul Young had at least 1 inch shorter
than mentioned.He might have a inch taller Younger,at least 6'1 whatever "TALL".
By the way, He is one of my favorite singer.
