  Is Tarkan secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Tarkan is celebrating his 53rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer-songwriter Tarkan (Simarik, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 53rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Tarkan, a cultural icon

Born Tarkan Tevetoglu in Alzey on October 17, 1972, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Turkish history. Tarkan'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 Tarkan hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Tarkan as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 53.

Happy Birthday, Tarkan, you're the best!
