Let's make this birthday one to remember.

77 years old (Born on July 15, 1947)

Happy Birthday, Peter Banks! May your day be filled with more riffs than candles and fewer strings breaking mid-solo. From pioneering progressive rock magic in Yes to electrifying performances with Flash and Empire, you've always known how to strike the perfect chord—literally!

Your guitar solos have aged better than fine wine (and certainly better than most hairstyles from the '70s). Here's hoping this year brings you as much joy as your music has brought us all these years. Keep rocking those timeless tunes; after all, legends never go out of style—they just get louder amps.

Cheers!
