  Is Rick Springfield secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Rick Springfield is celebrating his 77th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter-actor Rick Springfield (Jessie's Girl, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 77th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Springfield, a cultural icon

Born Richard Lewis Springthorpe in South Wentworthville on August 23, 1949, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Australian history. Springfield'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 Rick hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Rick Springfield as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 77.

Happy Birthday, Rick, you're the best!
