Is Sinclair secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Sinclair is celebrating his 55th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter-musician Sinclair (La Bonne attitude, Que justice soit faite, La Nouvelle Star, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 55th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Sinclair, a cultural icon

Born Mathieu Blanc-Francard in Tours on July 19, 1970, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in French history. Sinclair'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 Sinclair hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Sinclair as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 55.

Happy Birthday, Sinclair, you're the best!
