IT'S HAIR TODAY, GONE TOMORROW... The world's hairiest man bristles as he prepares for surgery - to smooth out his skin. Yu Zhenhuan, 31, attended a hospital in Hangzhou, China, for laser treatment in a desperate bid to cure his condition. Yu, a professional musician, has thick black fur covering 96 per cent of his body from a rare condition he has suffered since the age of two. He has undergone at least six previous ops to remove the hair, but each time it has returned. (ZN/WN)
