Time to put him into a home, as he turns 60...

Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber celebrated his 60th birthday with a star-studded concert in London over the weekend. The musical theater genius is responsible for penning shows such as "The Phantom of the Opera" and "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". Apparently, Webber enjoyed renditions of his most well known tracks from celebrities including John Barrowman and Elaine Page.

Speaking following the concert in the city's Hyde Park, a clearly emotional Webber thanked the audience and the BBC and made an exclusive revelation.

Webber (who actually turned 60 on March 22, but they were doing half-birthdays) said:

"There is something I would like to say tonight which is thank you to all the people who have helped me in my career. I would like to thank everyone who loves musicals as much as me and I promise you I will try my best with the sequel to 'The Phantom of the Opera' which, I can exclusively reveal tonight, will be called 'Love Never Dies'."

There you have it, folks. History in the making. Something else for Hollywood to ruin a few years down the line.
