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.
