Oversized glasses, feathered costumes and platform boots, a piano pounded like a stage instrument: Elton John pushed popular song toward rock spectacle without ever fearing excess! Born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in 1947 in Pinner, the pianist answered the same Liberty Records ad in 1967 as lyricist Bernie Taupin, and the duo became one of the most prolific pairings of their century, from "Your Song" to "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road", by way of "Rocket Man" and "I'm Still Standing". His melodies also carried The Lion King in 1994, on lyrics by Tim Rice, before the biopic Rocketman put his improbable outfits back in the spotlight in 2019. Knighted in 1998 and committed to the fight against AIDS through his foundation created in 1992, he closed the Farewell Yellow Brick Road goodbye tour in 2023, five years after launching it. Biographies, graphic t-shirts and figures with oversized glasses extend a career that never did anything by halves!
