The iconic and legendary singer turns 64 on Sunday, Jun. 22, 2025.

Jimmy Somerville is celebrating his 64th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer Jimmy Somerville (Don't Leave Me This Way, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 64th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Somerville, a cultural icon

Born James William Somerville in Glasgow on June 22, 1961, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Scottish history. Somerville'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 Jimmy hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jimmy Somerville as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 64.

Happy Birthday, Jimmy, you're the best!
