Today marks the birthday of many musicians, singers and well, Jedward. Which got us thinking about the butterfly effect and all that... if there was no 16th of October and these people weren't born on this day many years ago, would we have these wonderful songs?
Gary Kemp of Spandau Ballet was born on 16th of October in 1959 making him 55 today. Without Gary Kemp there would be no Spandau Ballet and there would be no 'Gold'...
Michael Balzary, AKA Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers is 52 today. What a legend he is! Without him, we wouldn't have 'Give It Away', nor would we have the pleasure of seeing the RHCPs rocking around in silver body paint for 4 minutes.
Wendy Wilson of Wilson Phillips also marks her birthday today. She's 45. What song would Bridesmaids have performed at the end of the movie if we had no 'Hold On'?
John Mayer also shares his birthday with this lot. He's 37 today. Maybe your body would not be a wonderland if John Mayer wasn't born on the 16th of October in '77.
The youngest of our performers to celebrate today are John and Edward Grimes. The Jedward boys are 23 today!

Did you know Facebook was only for older people apparently? Are you 'old'?
