Every now and then, there are singers that have interesting careers/lives outside of the music industry. My favorite example of this probably goes to Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring. You know, the band that gave us such deep philosophical pieces such as this:

Yeah, he has a phD in Molecular Biology and helped sequence the genome of HIV (specifically, the microRNA sequences that HIV uses to make proteins to survive). There is a large hope that this line of research may help lead to new treatments of HIV/AIDS. Yeah, no biggy.
Oh, and he is a liscened pilot and avation instructor to boot.
