Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on May 08, 1964)

Happy Birthday, Dave Rowntree! May your day be filled with more rhythm than a Blur drum solo and fewer political debates—unless you're into that sort of thing. From keeping the beat on iconic tracks like "Song 2" to championing important causes offstage, you've always marched (or drummed) to your own unique tempo.

Here's hoping this year brings you as much excitement as headlining Wembley or winning another Brit Award—but perhaps without any backstage drama involving Damon Albarn's haircuts. Keep rocking those drums and shaking up politics; after all these years, life's still never blurry when you're around!
