  Is Tricky secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Tricky is celebrating his 58th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed musicians of his generation.

Popular musician-actor Tricky (The Fifth Element, Maxinquaye, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 58th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Tricky, a cultural icon

Born Adrian Nicholas Matthews Thaws in Bristol on January 27, 1968, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Tricky's not just a great musician, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Tricky hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Tricky as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 58.

Happy Birthday, Tricky, you're the best!
