Bonnie Raitt celebrated her 76th birthday this weekend, and she's not slowing down one bit.
The iconic singer and songwriter, who has won 13 Grammy Awards, swung into her 76th birthday on Saturday with style. The fiery redhead, known for her trademark white streak in her hair, smiled for the camera in a stunning Instagram shot that was shared with her 213,000 followers. In the caption, Raitt's team wished her a happy birthday.
"Happy Birthday to our awesome boss, mentor and friend!" the caption read. "Wishing you the incredible day you so deserve — just relaxing, enjoying life and chillin’ in the garden!

Raitt Denied This is a Farewell Tour
Raitt is still going strong, and she's not going to let the artificial intelligence bots make anyone think otherwise. On Friday, Raitt spoke out in a post shared to her Facebook page about rumors started by bots claiming a variety of falsehoods. One of the incorrect rumors was that her current tour would be her last.
“We are aware of it and want to clarify a few things,” the statement read. “There is not a Netflix documentary about Bonnie Raitt in the works. Bonnie is not doing a ‘farewell tour’ or releasing a ‘farewell album.’ She is not performing at Rockefeller Center in December 2025. Her brother was not a victim of the tragic UPS plane crash in Louisville on November 4, 2025. Bonnie is not in a Twitter spat with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt or making posts about immigration policy and the like. Bonnie Raitt and Jackson Browne have not been asked to perform at TPUSA’s ‘The All-American Halftime Show.’”
Raitt Has 38 Years of Sobriety
One of the things that keeps Raitt feeling so good at 76 is her healthy lifestyle. Back in May, she told The Guardian that she exercises regularly, maintains a healthy sleep regimen, and has maintained 38 years of sobriety from drugs and alcohol.
"I am so proud to have lasted this long because so many of our friends suffered from poor health, or their lives were shortened by accidents or suicide, or drug addiction. I’m so grateful for my 38 years of sobriety – knock on wood, one day at a time – which is probably why I’m still here just in terms of perspective, emotionally and spiritually," Raitt shared. "But also getting enough sleep and getting some exercise: I do yoga and weights with a girlfriend on FaceTime three times a week, no matter where I am. And as the world situation is so stressful and so upsetting, I don’t know what I would do if it wasn’t for being able to get out into nature and hike and be with the fellowship of my people that feel like I do about the world."
