no but there was a contentious reddit thread yesterday postulating that he's wearing his hat all the time because he's waiting for a hair transplant to settle it.
i've been assuming this

Yeah, either it's a botched hair transplant or he's waiting for part of it to get longer.

honestly it makes me sad. As a balding guy who has wrestled with the question of whether I'd want to pursue this -- and decidedly settled on "No, don't be stupid" -- I wish he was a bastion of bravery and solidarity.
As a guy who basically went bald I felt much better once I made my peace with it. But if I was regularly photographed and people speculated about my hair on the internet I'd either go the Michael Stipe route or (if once famed for how great my hair was) I probably would go a transplant route.

I dunno if i was super rich, balding and a rock star i'd do something about it...there are definitely some celebs out there that are getting some good work done. Whatever Jerry Seinfeld did with his hair in the last few years looks good and pretty natural to my eyes.

I think we can all agree that it's best to either shave it off/keep it really short or have some sort of procedure. The in between is the worst.

For sure Bruce is another guy that got some pretty good work done.

It’s very hard not to lose respect for anyone who has a hair replacement procedure.

It’s such an absurd thing to do.

Not any more absurd than any other cosmetic body modification procedure.
