Michel Fugain is celebrating his 83rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.
Popular singer-songwriter Michel Fugain (Viva la vida, Fais comme l’oiseau, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 83rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Fugain, a cultural icon
Born in Grenoble on May 12, 1942, Michel Fugain's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Fugain'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 Michel hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Michel Fugain as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 83.
Happy Birthday, Michel, you're the best!
