  Is Paul Young secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Paul Young is celebrating his 70th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-musician Paul Young (Senza una donna, Love of the Common People, Wherever I Lay My Hat, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 70th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Young, a cultural icon

Born Paul Antony Young in Luton on January 17, 1956, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Young'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 Paul hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Paul Young as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 70.

Happy Birthday, Paul, you're the best!
