  Is Maxwell secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Maxwell is celebrating his 53rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Maxwell (BLACKsummers'night, Embrya, Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 53rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Maxwell, a cultural icon

Born Gerald Maxwell Rivera in New York on May 23, 1973, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Maxwell'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 Maxwell hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Maxwell as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 53.

Happy Birthday, Maxwell, you're the best!
