Artist Biography

Sir Elton Hercules John, CBE (born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on March 25, 1947) is an immensely popoular English singer, composer (mostly with lyricist Bernie Taupin) and pianist. In a career spanning five decades, John has sold over 250 million records and has over fifty Top 40 hits, making him one of the most successful musicians of all time. His 1997 tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales, "Candle In The Wind," remains the world's biggest selling and fastest selling single of all time.

John was one of the dominant commercial forces in the rock world during the 1970s, with a string of seven consecutive #1 records on the U.S. album charts, twenty-three Top 40 singles, sixty Top 10 hits, and six #1 hits. His success had a profound impact on popular music, and contributed to the continued popularity of the piano in rock and roll.
