Axel Bauer is celebrating his 65th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Axel Bauer (À ma place, Cargo de nuit, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 65th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Bauer, a cultural icon

Born in Paris on April 7, 1961, Axel Bauer's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Bauer's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Axel hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Axel Bauer as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 65.

Happy Birthday, Axel, you're the best!
