Short Bio
Elton John, born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on March 25, 1947, in Pinner, England, is the piano wizard and sequin suit aficionado who turned the pop music world on its glittery head. With his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin, he created hits like "Your Song" and "Rocket Man," blending heart-wrenching lyrics with melodies that stick in your head and refuse to leave.
Elton's flair for the dramatic extends beyond his music; he's as famous for his extravagant costumes and eyewear as for his chart-topping tunes. Whether he's belting out ballads or bopping to bangers, Sir Elton Hercules John embodies the idea that if life doesn't give you sequins, you go out and bedazzle it yourself.
