More About Elton John & Elton John Tickets

When it comes to composing songs that would literally last a series of lifetimes, Elton John is one of the most versatile artists capturing the hearts of people from all walks of life. This singer-songwriter, born Reginald Kenneth on March 25, 1947 in Pinner, Middlesex, England, is the son of a former Royal Air Force trumpeter. His music encompasses a wide range of genres, including classic pop balladry, soul, progressive rock and country, and his piano is heavily influenced by gospel and classical music.

He began playing piano when he was only four and was granted a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music when he was eleven. He pursued a career in music after studying for six years, having both solo and group projects with the first band he joined into, the Bluesology. In 1966, when his band was chosen to become Long John Baldry’s supporting band, they were able to perform in various cabarets all over England. However, with his disfavor with Baldry’s band management, he decided to look into his other options and auditioned for lead vocalists in other bands. However, he only met failure after failure in the auditions, and he was just given a stack of lyrics Bernie Taupin had left with Liberty Records label. He wrote lyrics for Taupin’s music, and they were later on hired by Dick James in 1968 to become staff songwriters in DJM. They were able to compose quality songs within a short period of time, and their compositions were used by various popular artists.

In 1968, he began recording songs as Elton John, the name he penned using the first names of Bluesology’s saxophonist Elton Dean and John Baldry. He later on released a debut album under DJM, the “Empty Sky”, though it did not make it to the mainstream scene. He released his second album in 1970 with the help of producer Gus Dudgeon and arranger Paul Buckmaster, and received positive views in his first American concert at the Troubadour in Los Angeles. His single “Your Song” became a good stepping stone for him, since it reached the Top 10 music charts in America and England. In 1972, he released “Rocket Man”, which became his first number one single in the US charts. Many other hits including “Crocodile Rock” and “Daniel” made it big from his album “Don’t Shoot Me, I’m Only the Piano Player”.

He was especially popular during the mid-‘70s with his albums and singles, though it was later on affected by his public confession of being bisexual. Decline in his sales were also attributed to stress, as he decided to cut on his live performances and record only one album every year. His popularity has declined from one album to another, and he became engrossed into alcohol and drugs. This resulted to certain throat conditions that required him to undergo a surgery, which affected his singing skills. Regardless of these setbacks, he continued with a series of live shows.

Elton remains devoted to creating music, and went on with 92 public concerts in 2009 in various nations across the globe. With the success of his collaboration with pianist/singer-songwriter Leon Russell, he was hailed in many concert reviews.
