  Is Rod Stewart secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Rod Stewart is celebrating his 81st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer Rod Stewart (Forever Young, Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?, Maggie May, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 81st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Stewart, a cultural icon

Born Roderick David Stewart in London on January 10, 1945, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Stewart'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 Rod hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Rod Stewart as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 81.

Happy Birthday, Rod, you're the best!
