John Butler is celebrating his 50th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter John Butler (April Uprising, Sunrise Over Sea, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 50th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Butler, a cultural icon

Born John Charles Wiltshire-Butler in Torrance on April 1, 1975, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Australian history. Butler'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 John hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for John Butler as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 50.

Happy Birthday, John, you're the best!
