Damien Rice is celebrating his 52nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.
Popular singer-songwriter Damien Rice (9 Crimes, Cannonball, The Blower's Daughter, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 52nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Rice, a cultural icon
Born in Kildare on December 7, 1973, Damien Rice's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Irish history. Rice'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 Damien hasn't done.
