Zucchero is celebrating his 69th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.

Popular singer Zucchero (Baila morena, Senza una donna, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 69th birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Zucchero, a cultural icon

Born Adelmo Fornaciari in Reggio Emilia on September 25, 1955, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Italian history. Zucchero'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 Zucchero hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Zucchero as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 69.

Happy Birthday, Zucchero, you're the best!
