Smiths frontman Morrissey is celebrating his 66th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Morrissey has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 66th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Morrissey, a cultural icon

Born Steven Patrick Morrissey in Davyhulme on May 22, 1959, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Morrissey'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 Morrissey hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Morrissey as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 66.

Happy Birthday, Morrissey, you're the best!
