HUGE 90s singer Nina Persson looks unrecognisable 27 years after her band's smash hit, Lovefool.<\/p>\n
Nina, 49, shot to fame as one-fifth of Swedish rock group The Cardigans in 1992, but has taken her career solo in more recent years.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As the troupe's lead, she fronted six albums, two of which shot to number one in their home country.<\/p>\n
Their biggest single, Lovefool, was originally released in 1996 but only enjoyed major international success when it was re-issued the following year.<\/p>\n
The track reached number two in the UK, as well as number one in New Zealand and three in Canada.<\/p>\n
The Cardigans went on hiatus between 2006 and 2012, but Nina kept herself busy with her second album, Colonia, which she dropped in 2009 under the alias A Camp.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She'd already released released her first LP, also called A Camp, in 2001 but chose to use her real name for 2014's Animal Heart.<\/p>\n
But 2009 was a difficult year for Nina as she was diagnosed with cervical cancer and underwent surgical treatment at this time.<\/p>\n
Thankfully, she's now fully recovered and shared an unrecognisable photo of herself during a recent trip to Tokyo.<\/p>\n
Surprisingly, the \u00d6rebro-native didn't want to be a musician growing up, saying in an interview she "it wasn't the dream".<\/p>\n

But I thought I was going to do different things and then suddenly I was 10 years into my career.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s where I was. I think I was just a little dumbstruck the whole time and too tired to object.\u201d<\/p>\n The Cardigans also comprises of Lars-Olof Johansson, Bengt Lagerberg, Magnus Sveningsson and Peter Svensson.
