Happy Birthday, Ian Gillan! From belting out "Smoke on the Water" to giving us chills with your legendary screams in "Child in Time," you've rocked generations and still haven't missed a beat. Your voice remains as powerful today as when you first took Deep Purple into rock immortality.Whether it's touring worldwide or releasing fresh material that keeps fans headbanging, you're proof age is just another riff waiting for an encore. May this birthday be filled with laughter louder than Ritchie Blackmore's guitar solos—and may your candles burn brighter (but safer!) than Montreux Casino ever did!
Rock on forever!
