HUGE congratulations go out to Leona today as she celebrates her 24th birthday!!

While Leona is now extremely busy in LA, recording tracks for her new album, she managed to check by the forum to have a look at all your warm birthday wishes! She particularly loved the birthday collages you submitted in the Flickr competition, and has asked us to pass on a massive thank you to everybody for all their kindness!

Here are just a few of the messages Leona’s fans have been leaving on the forum:

Cerysx wrote, ‘Happy 24th Birthday Leona for Friday! I can’t wait to hear how you spend it. I hope you have a wonderful day that you spend it with the people you love.’

xmcpheelvrx wrote, ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEONA!!!!!! Please relax a bit and enjoy the day. I hope you have tons of fun with all of your loved ones and that you get the present you want. Love you Leona, happy 24th, you’re brilliant’

Adrian says, ‘Happy 24th birthday Leona! Can’t believe it’s been 3 years since XF because you were 21 when you were on there. Time certainly does fly. Have a great day and we’re all anxiously awaiting the second album and tour.’
