Danny aka Big D celebrates his respectable 80th birthday today. The celebrations already started on Thursday with a big birthday party, in addition to which the singing legend released his fifth book, Danny – the whole show (WSOY).
The singer has received numerous birthday wishes on various social media channels. One of the congratulators is Helmi Loukasmäki, 21, who is connected to Danny and has become known as his employee.
Loukasmäki published a series of no less than five photos on his Instagram account of both Danny himself and their moments together over the years.
In the photos, the duo is, among other things, dressed in a tonal shade on a pier, with a horse in summer landscapes under a tree, and in similar hoodies on the sofa.

Loukasmäki wrote a sensitive text dedicated to Danny in connection with the publication.
– Today someone very loved and special was born, Loukasmäki begins his writing.
Loukasmäki calls for raising a toast to Danny’s great age and the past years, during which many things have happened both in his career and in his private life.
– Thank you for your support, teachings, love and warmth, wisdom and compassion towards life and fellow human beings! Thank you for everything! Thank you especially for being in my life! Loukasmäki praises the relationship between the two.
– Congratulations Dear D, 80 years old, he concludes with heart emoticons.
Close relationship
Loukasmäki, who has known Danny since 2020, told Iltalehte at the music advisor’s birthday party that they were “close”.
– Our relationship is close and warm, I won’t define it any further. It is enough that we ourselves know what our differences are, Loukasmäki states.
Loukasmäki says that he doesn’t always understand why people are so interested in the relationship between the two.

– We really have a wonderful time together. No harm has been done to anyone and nothing bad has ever happened, so I kind of don’t understand the negative tone when talking about Helm and Danny. I do understand that there is this age difference here, he concludes.
Originally, Danny’s birthday was to be celebrated at sea, but the plans changed at the last minute. A large holiday cruise from Turku to Stockholm was canceled at the end of August due to “Marine changes and lack of advance sales due to demand”. However, the singer is scheduled to go on a 30-concert party tour around Finland soon.
