  Is Donovan secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Donovan is celebrating his 79th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Donovan (Mellow Yellow, Sunshine Superman, Colours, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 79th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Donovan, a cultural icon

Born Donovan Philips Leitch in Glasgow on May 10, 1946, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Scottish history. Donovan'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 Donovan hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Donovan as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 79.

Happy Birthday, Donovan, you're the best!
