He was treated to a pre-recorded performance from several of Radio 2's stars singing an altered version of Stevie Wonder's 'Happy Birthday' to him. Stars such as Gaby Roslin, Jeremy Vine, Fearne Cotton and Richie Anderson all collaborated to deliver the musical tribute — featuring lyrics such as 'Cause we all know in our minds/ That you’re only 29.'
