61 years old (Born on November 24, 1963)

Happy Birthday, Henjo Richter! May your riffs remain as sharp and electrifying as ever, and your solos continue to shred through the ages. From Gamma Ray's epic anthems to Avantasia's soaring melodies, you've given us countless headbanging moments that echo through metal history.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more legendary performances, unforgettable tours, and perhaps a guitar solo so powerful it summons dragons—or at least blows out all the candles on your cake. Keep rocking hard and inspiring generations of metalheads worldwide. Cheers to another year of musical greatness—stay loud, stay proud, stay Henjo!
