Forty-two. How is that possible?
The link to the 2021 article from the Tulsa World doesn't work anymore, but the images from that article come up anyway. It looks as if they change the article every year. I'll link to this year's article too.
From 2021:
Happy birthday, Issac Hanson: Take a look back at the Hanson brothers through the years
6 hrs ago
Happy birthday to Isaac Hanson, who turns 41 years old on Wednesday.
More than 25 years after Isaac, Taylor and Zac Hanson’s first performance at Mayfest, they have seen the world, played “MMMBop” more times than they can fathom and built an enormous and fervent fanbase.
The creativity of the Tulsa-native brothers, so many years after they started their career as pre-teens, shows no signs of slowing.
Take a look back at photos of them through the years.

Hanson performs at Big Splash in July 1994. The brothers were still a few years away from “MMMBop” and a few more from national fame.
