Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on September 26, 1976)

Happy birthday, Sami! From rocking out bass lines on "Oceanborn" to stealing the show during the unforgettable Wishmaster tour—your brilliance was always a perfect mix of symphony and metal madness. Even though Nightwish sailed through seas of musical adventures, fans never forgot your epic rhythm under those stage lights.

As you celebrate another timeless trip around the sun today, may life's melody bring endless harmonies (and maybe fewer hair flips gone wrong). Thanks for setting our hearts pumping like double-kick pedals! Keep slaying that signature Finnish style; you're aging finer than vintage vinyl—classic yet forever badass. Rock on!
