Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on January 27, 1944)

Happy Birthday, Nick Mason! May your day be filled with more rhythm than a Pink Floyd drum solo and fewer crashes than the gong you famously hammered. From keeping perfect time on "Time" to drumming up psychedelic magic in "Echoes," you've always been comfortably brilliant behind those drums.

Recently touring again with Saucerful of Secrets proves you're still rocking strong—showing younger generations how it's done without missing a beat (literally!). Here's wishing you another year full of laughter, legendary fills, and perhaps fewer flying pigs interrupting your solos. Keep shining on like that crazy diamond we all admire!
