CeeLo Green will remember when he finally attended his prom—at age 50.
On May 30, scores of guests celebrated The Voice alum at his surprise birthday party at Flourish Atlanta, which depicted both the high school dance and graduation ceremony that he never got the chance to attend.
The “Crazy” singer, who obtained his GED after ending his studies at Benjamin E. Mays High School in 1993, was presented at the bash with an official certificate of recognition from Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and an honorary diploma from the Atlanta Board of Education.
“Now, in 2025, we honor his journey, accomplishments, and contributions to the arts and our community,” Board Chair Erika Mitchell said on Instagram, “by officially welcoming him into the Class of 2025!”
At the party—presented by Primary Wave Music—guests enjoyed CeeLo’s favorite flavor birthday cake, strawberry shortcake with whipped cream icing.
The festivities also featured performances from his alma mater’s marching band, as well as artists such as Adi Oasis, Morris Day and the Time and JT Money, plus the guest of honor himself.
