During a dazzling 50 year musical career Sir Elton John has risen
from playing the piano in the pubs of Pinner in North London to
become a multi award winning global superstar with record sales of
over GBP1 billion. Elton John - Farewell tells his extraordinary
story and features the story of the Farewell Tour which runs
through to July 2023. His 1970 breakthrough single 'Your Song'
began his domination of the pop charts and established his
credentials to fill the post Beatles landscape with his unique take
on piano based ballads pop and rock. Not since 50s stars Jerry Lee
Lewis and Little Richard had a man and his piano made such an
impact on modern music. Few would have imagined that Elton's early
success and real emotional connection with his fans would be
sustained over the next 50 years and see him become a singer
songwriter extraordinaire and one of the most successful musical
theatre composers in history. Flamboyant and prone to excess Elton
has overcome problems with drink drugs and his sexuality to become
notable fundraiser and charity campaigner notably through the Elton
John AIDS foundation. Now married with two sons Elton's priorities
have changed. Farewell Elton.
