  Is Lio secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Lio is celebrating her 64th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

Popular singer Lio (Banana Split, La Nouvelle Star, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 64th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Lio, a cultural icon

Born Vanda Maria R. F. Tavares de Vasconcelos in Mangualde on June 17, 1962, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Belgian history. Lio'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 Lio hasn't done.

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

Happy Birthday, Lio, you're the best!
