Mike Oldfield is celebrating his 71st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation.
Popular musician-composer Mike Oldfield (Tubular Bells, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 71st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Oldfield, a cultural icon
Born Michael Gordon Oldfield in Reading on May 15, 1953, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Oldfield's not just a great musician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Mike hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Mike Oldfield as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 71.
Happy Birthday, Mike, you're the best!
