Akon goes shirtless

Singing star Akon shows off his very fit torso as he performs at the B96 Pepsi Summerbash on June 13, 2009. (Summer did not technically begin until 7 days later, but let it pass.) This was at Toyota Park in Bridgeview, Illinois. Akon -- whose full birth name was Aliaune Damala Badara Akon Thiam -- was born in 1973, so he turned 36 the year this photo was taken.
