  Is Elvis Costello secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Elvis Costello is celebrating his 72nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation.

Popular musician-singer-songwriter Elvis Costello (I Want You, Alison, She, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 72nd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Costello, a cultural icon

Born Declan Patrick MacManus in London on August 25, 1954, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Costello'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 Elvis hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Elvis Costello as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 72.

Happy Birthday, Elvis, you're the best!
