  Is Tommy Steele secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Tommy Steele is celebrating his 89th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer Tommy Steele (Singing the Blues, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 89th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Steele, a cultural icon

Born Thomas William Hicks in Bermondsey on December 17, 1936, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Steele'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 Tommy hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Tommy Steele as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 89.

Happy Birthday, Tommy, you're the best!
