Interesting attempt but too messy. In double or more exposures, in my opinion you need a dominant shot and a lesser shot. To me the middle one is too ghostly and the ear on the face is a distraction which helps neither shot. As well the middle one messes up the dark exposure as well. With this set up I would use 2 exposures. The dominant left one larger and the dark one coming out of the shadows. OR vice versa. but one needs to dominate. What you attempted is very difficult to pull off, but to me it doesn't work well enough. The middle one just messes it up too much. And none of it has anything to do with how famous he is. The shot should work on its own merits.
 
Thanks for your comments everyone. Good to see so many fans of BB on the site. Apart from his CD's this is one of the few photos that I have of the man in his prime.
