Coldplay frontman Chris Martin is celebrating his 49th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation.

Popular musician-singer-songwriter Chris Martin has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 49th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Martin, a cultural icon

Born Christopher Anthony John Martin in Devon on March 2, 1977, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Martin's not just a great musician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Chris hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Chris Martin as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 49.

Happy Birthday, Chris, you're the best!
