Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on July 10, 1974)

Happy Birthday, Imelda May! Here's hoping your celebrations have more "Boom Boom" than Johnny ever had. With a style sharper than rockabilly riffs and lyrics smoother than Irish jazz saxophones, you continue to light up stages everywhere—making even the coolest cats groove along.

From earning nods at prestigious events like the Choice Music Prize to wowing audiences with unforgettable performances worldwide—you've danced boldly among every musical note life threw your way. Today we tip our hats (and fix our hairdos) in honor of Ireland's jazziest queen: keep those timeless tunes rolling because nobody rocks it quite like you do!
