Let's make this birthday one to remember.

38 years old (Born on April 24, 1987)

Happy Birthday, Ben Howard! May your day be brighter than the spotlight during "Games in the Dark," and may you celebrate louder than fans singing along at every concert. Your soulful melodies have been our soundtrack through life's ups and downs—mostly because no one else can make melancholy sound so oddly cheerful.

From captivating audiences worldwide to crafting lyrics that linger long after they're heard, you've truly mastered turning heartfelt introspection into timeless hits. Here's hoping this year brings even more success—and perhaps fewer games played in darkness (we wouldn't want anyone tripping over guitars).

Cheers to another harmonious trip around the sun!
