Joel Rueben Madden (né Combs; born March 11, 1979) is an American singer, best known as the lead vocalist for the rock band Good Charlotte.

[1][2] He has an identical twin, Benji Madden, who plays guitar and sings backing vocals in their band, Good Charlotte.

[4] In the 2001 film Not Another Teen Movie, Madden and the other Good Charlotte members made a cameo appearance as the band at the school's prom.

On November 23, 2011, Madden was confirmed as one of the four vocal coaches in the first season of the Australian version of the reality singing competition The Voice.

Madden is featured in Blood on the Dance Floor's fifth studio album on the track "Incomplete and All Alone" released on June 19, 2012.

The album title Greetings from California comes from a conversation that the brothers had over breakfast one morning where they were reminiscing over how far they had come since the days of making music in their bedrooms.

Beginning in 2022, Madden has served as the host of Ink Master, replacing Dave Navarro starting with the fourteenth season.

[12] After a long period of tabloid speculation, Duff's mother Susan announced their relationship in a June 2005 interview for Seventeen.

[14] Writing for Paper in 2015, Abby Schreiber noted that this and similar instances of famous men dating teenage girls had largely been ignored or even defended by tabloids at the time, something she attributed to changing public attitudes as well as tabloids and publicists having more control of information prior to the rise of social media.

"[20] Madden has a trademark habit of chewing toothpicks[21] to help reduce the number of cigarettes he smokes a day.
