Rock Stars Celebrating Birthdays in September

Happy birthday to those of you celebrating your special day in September, the ninth month of the year.

It's that time of the year where the weather starts to cool a bit, the calendar officially hits autumn and we begin to rearrange our closets to welcome some warmer threads. School is back in session. But there's still some great opportunities to go see live music outdoors and perhaps you'll be celebrating a birthday with some of the musicians onstage.

September is the month with the rock legend Joan Jett was born. Somewhere behind that mask, Slipknot's Shawn Crahan will also be turning another year older. And yes, one of metal's true legends who recently announced plans for a farewell album and tour — Mr. Dave Mustaine of Megadeth — is adding another year of metal excellence to his lifespan.

Guitar great Joe Perry of Aerosmith fame and Mastodon bassist and co-vocalist Troy Sanders both have September birthdays. So do true icons such as Bruce Springsteen, David Coverdale and Chrissie Hynde..There's also Les Claypool, Brad Wilk, Brad Arnold, Stephen Perkins, Avril Lavigne, Danny Worsnop, Mikey Way, William DuVall, Kim Thayil and the list goes on.

Pluse, It's also a month of heavenly birthdays for Freddie Mercury, Meat Loaf, Neil Peart and more.
