  Is Chris Rea secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Chris Rea is celebrating his 73rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Chris Rea (The Road to Hell, Driving Home for Christmas, On the Beach, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 73rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Rea, a cultural icon

Born Christopher Anton Rea in Middlesbrough on March 4, 1951, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Rea'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 Chris hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Chris Rea as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 73.

Happy Birthday, Chris, you're the best!
