Looked a solid 188cm guy in his prime

Editor Robhalf inch less by now is likely, as much as an inch though?

Met him years ago after a show for an autograph. Well, I got one by reaching over the crowd since I am 6'5", it was funny, he reached over and signed it. I'd estimate 6'2" peak height, maybe a bit less now.

I think there's quite a bit of Irish, Scottish and Welsh in there too.

Definitely 6'2" or 6'3". I stood next to him on my cousin's interview show, I'm 6'0" and he is taller than me.

"Peak height was 6ft 2in (188cm)"
Might still be that.

@Karey-Anne Foster I have been telling this board for years. Finally, they gave Rick another 1/2 ". I gave Rob kudos. But, I have never had a response from him. I think he knows there are some people better at judging heights than he. That is fine with me. Sly Stallone is a great man an artist, but is a short man. Nothing close to his listing.

Editor Rob with over 8,000 listings it's a lot to keep track of, but listings change a lot...still doesn't mean it is correct or incorrect. A guess is still that - an estimate of height, which becomes right or wrong when a valid measurement is taken. Even then, you'd still get discussion over whether the measurement was valid :)

I think if anyone knows its Rick Springfield himself. Why would he say "I'm 6'2" " if it were false. I'm 5'11" barefoot and was wearing three inch heels on 09/05/15 when I saw RS in concert. The heels make me 6'1" and when I hugged him (!!!) Rick was taller than me by an inch or so. He's a tall lanky well built man of 66 years. So....

6'2" was spot on in his prime. Could still be very close.

Hi Rob just watched a documentary with Rick Springfield and Dave Grohl. He had about 1.5 inches on Dave Grohl. If you image search Dave Grohl and Rick Springfield you can see he is 1 inch taller even with the lean. I would estimate him to be in the 186 maybe even 187 range.

You've definitely got Rick's height wrong. Something between 6ft 1.5in to 6ft 2in would be more appropriate.

He is a tall man. Met him in Austin 1984--Corey Hart opened for him. Very big guy not some skinny guitar player. Big boned must be close to 6'2" --which he claimed on his show "High Tide"

I had the opportunity to work with Rick one summer, and he IS a tall Aussie. My aunt waited on him back in the early '70's, and she is 5'9" in flat feet, but she said she was wearing 3 inch heels, and that he was about 6'2". many of his "meet and greet" pictures do not show his true height because the event becomes very tiring, and Rick does some major slouching. Also, if you have never seen him perform live--you have missed one the best concerts, ever. He is a great guy!! Stand tall and be proud Richard Lewis Springthorpe a.k.a. Rick Springfield. Australia made you--America has you!!!

Rick, according to Rick, is 6'2". I asked him one time when I met him because I'm 5'11" and he seemed so much taller than me. He is such a GREAT man. So fan friendly. And really wonderful to children. My daughter is almost 14 now and has adored him since she was 5! She, too, has met Rick on more than one ocassion and he's always so sweet to her! He is a far bigger man than his 6'2" frame! Upgrade him Rob!

he surely looks old! i dont remember him like that at all, what a surprise, he still writes great music though.
he definetly looks no less than 6'0
185cm seems reasonable.

Kind of awkward story. Ran into this guy in the bathroom at one of his shows (wife's a huge fan). Finished washing my hands, turned around and he was walking in. I'm 5'11", and he seemed a solid 6'2" I would've guessed 6'3" he's a big guy, very lean, gives a taller appearance than he is I suppose.
