Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on October 25, 1963)

Happy Birthday, John Leven! May your day rock harder than the bassline of "The Final Countdown." You've kept Europe's rhythm steady and fans grooving for decades—clearly proving that Swedish precision isn't just reserved for furniture assembly. Your timeless riffs have become legendary, making air-bass players everywhere look infinitely cooler.

From sold-out arenas to unforgettable reunions and chart-topping comebacks, you've consistently reminded us why Europe remains iconic. Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy as you've given millions worldwide—and perhaps fewer jokes about hairstyles from the '80s (though we secretly love them). Keep rocking strong; you're truly one-of-a-kind!
