O vocalista dos Kaiser Chiefs, Ricky Wilson, faz hoje 34 anos

Ricky Wilson (born Charles Richard Wilson, 17 January 1978) is the lead singer of English band Kaiser Chiefs. Wilson has also been on the panel of the BBC Television comedy series Shooting Stars in 2009, Never Mind the Buzzcocks in 2005, and was a guest host on the show in 2006.

Wilson is well known for wearing stripy blazers, waistcoats, turn-up jeans and winkle picker shoes, a style that won him the Shockwaves NME Award For Best Dressed Person in 2006.

Wilson is also known for his stage behaviour, he regularly climbs scaffolding at festivals such as the 2008 Rock Werchter festival in Belgium. Wilson ran through the crowd and proceeded to climb the mixing box opposite the stage, where he stated he was "Watching my favourite band right now", a reference to his bandmates still playing onstage.

Wilson often 'surfs' the crowd at concerts, most often during the playing of I Predict a Riot. Wilson says that this is because he likes to "get out and see the crowd, see what they smell like".

He attended St. Mary's School, Menston with Nick Baines and Simon Rix. He then went onto Trinity & All Saints University College in Horsforth, Leeds. There he studied geography.

Together with bandmate Ricky Wilson, Nick started the Leeds club night Pigs "to give us something to look forward to", and after giving the rest of the band a mix CD with songs he had been playing at Pigs, they formed Kaiser Chiefs, scrapping all their old songs and changing "the way we play, the way we dress, basically everything we could change without changing... our faces".
