Peter Gabriel is celebrating his 76th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation.

Popular musician-singer-songwriter Peter Gabriel (Sledgehammer, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 76th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Gabriel, a cultural icon

Born in Chobham on February 13, 1950, Peter Gabriel's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Gabriel'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 Peter hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Peter Gabriel as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 76.

Happy Birthday, Peter, you're the best!
