Beyonce's 30th Birthday: Stevie Wonder and Fans Celebrate Superstar
Pop superstar Beyonce celebrates her 30th birthday today, less than one week after announcing her pregnancy on the MTV Video Music Awards.
According to music blog, The Rap-Up, Beyonce and husband, Jay-Z, are celebrating in Venice, Italy. However, birthday greetings for the music diva are coming in from around the world.
Fans from Brazil, the United States, Japan, and many more countries contributed to a video birthday tribute on Youtube. The video includes still photos of people who wrote simple birthday greetings on paper to heartfelt songs performed by fans in their bedrooms.
Stevie Wonder also paid Beyonce a birthday tribute by singing a high-octane version of “Happy Birthday to You” in classic, Stevie Wonder-style during a concert at the Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival. Wonder’s son, Kailand, was also part of the birthday song dedication. He shares the same birthday with Beyonce.
And Stylelist.com put together a compilation of photos taken over Beyonce’s career that show the singer in a wide array of outfits, ranging from skimpy skirts to elegant dresses.
It has not been determined what Jay-Z has given Beyonce for her birthday. But whatever it is, he will have some pressure on him to make it good. For his birthday last year, Beyonce gave Jay-Z a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport, which cost $2 million and is one of the fastest cars in the world.
According to ContactMusic.com, Beyonce and Jay-Z are the second wealthiest celebrity couple in the world after taking in a combined $72 million last year. Supermodel Gisele Bundchen and quarterback Tom Brady are the only celebrity pairing who can say they made more.
Beyonce fans will not have to worry about pregnancy taking her away for very long. She is expected to perform at the Michael Jackson tribute show on October 8. She will be approximately five months pregnant.
