Let's make this birthday one to remember.

50 years old (Born on January 02, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Robert Westerholt! May your day rock harder than your epic guitar riffs and be as legendary as Within Temptation's unforgettable performances. From electrifying stages worldwide to crafting symphonic masterpieces, you've proven that age is just a number—though we suspect you're secretly powered by metal magic.

Here's hoping this year brings you even more success, laughter, and inspiration. Keep shredding those strings and harmonizing like the metal maestro you are. After all, the best way to celebrate another trip around the sun is with loud music, good friends—and perhaps a cake shaped like an electric guitar!
