I was round a friend's house the other day and we were watching the music channels. An old Rock(ish) song came on and it was a classic, I knew it quite well already but can't remember what it was now! What I do remember is that the singer was a middle aged man with very big hair (possible an afro, although he was white) and a thick mustache. He had brown hair and was quite thin. The song was either from the seventies or eighties. Can anybody help me? Even an idea of just who the artist was would help!

You just described almost everyone in the 70s and 80s music scene. 70s was big on afros and Farrah Fawcett dos. 70's and 80's were big on hair bands and metal bands. Good luck finding it though. XD
The BeeGees is the best I can think of.
Here's a pic of Barry Gibb for ya.

It wasn't particularly heavy stuff. Nothing like the kiss scene. But it was on a rock channel.

well a lot of hair bands were super tame. Metal then was nothing like metal now.

Only reason I mention this one, is it happened to be on the TV the other day. Hair isn't that big, but eh.
