76 years old (Born on September 16, 1948)
Happy Birthday, Ron Blair! You're the heartbeat behind some of rock's most timeless tunes—keeping Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers grooving through decades. From laying down iconic bass lines in "Refugee" and "Don't Do Me Like That," to your triumphant return in 2002 that had fans everywhere saying, “The waiting is indeed the hardest part!”Your musical journey proves one thing: great bassists never fade—they just groove deeper into legend status. Here's hoping your birthday rocks as hard as you do on stage (but maybe with fewer encores). Keep rocking strong; after all these years, you're still breaking hearts—and strings!
