  Is Katie Melua secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Katie Melua is celebrating her 42nd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Katie Melua (Nine Million Bicycles, The Closest Thing to Crazy, Just Like Heaven, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 42nd birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Melua, a cultural icon

Born Ketevan Melua in Kutaisi on September 16, 1984, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Melua's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Katie hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Katie Melua as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 42.

Happy Birthday, Katie, you're the best!
