Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on October 12, 1935)

Happy birthday to the legendary Luciano Pavarotti! They say hitting high Cs nine times in 'La Fille du Régiment' was impossible—until you swaggered onto that stage and casually tossed them around like confetti at a victory parade. Your iconic portrayal left us stunned, then laughing joyfully when critics realized opera just got rocked by genuine tenor thunder.

Even now your heartfelt serenades from "Nessun Dorma" echo warmly through our hearts—making soccer fans weep uncontrollably (you made sports events operatic!). May today's celebration match your soaring vocals: bold, colorful, brilliant—and let's hope no glassware shatters this year. Happy Birthday!
