Biografie
Elton John, geboren als Reginald Kenneth Dwight am 25. März 1947 in Pinner, Middlesex, England, ist einer der erfolgreichsten und einflussreichsten Musiker aller Zeiten. Schon in jungen Jahren zeigte er außergewöhnliches musikalisches Talent und erhielt ein Stipendium für die Royal Academy of Music.
Seine Karriere begann in den 1960er Jahren, als er zusammen mit dem Songtexter Bernie Taupin zu schreiben begann. Ihr erstes gemeinsames Album "Empty Sky" erschien 1969, doch der große Durchbruch kam 1970 mit dem Album "Elton John" und der Hitsingle "Your Song".
In den folgenden Jahrzehnten veröffentlichte Elton John zahlreiche Alben und Hits wie "Rocket Man", "Tiny Dancer", "Candle in the Wind" und "I'm Still Standing". Seine Musik ist geprägt von eingängigen Melodien, kraftvollen Balladen und seiner unverkennbaren Stimme.
Elton John ist auch für seine extravaganten Bühnenauftritte und auffälligen Kostüme bekannt, die ihn zu einer ikonischen Figur in der Popkultur machten. Neben seiner Musikkarriere engagiert er sich stark für wohltätige Zwecke, insbesondere im Kampf gegen AIDS, und gründete die Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Mit über 300 Millionen verkauften Alben und zahlreichen Auszeichnungen, darunter fünf Grammy Awards und ein Oscar, hat Elton John die Musikwelt nachhaltig geprägt. Sein musikalisches Erbe und sein Einsatz für soziale Gerechtigkeit machen ihn zu einer der bedeutendsten Persönlichkeiten der Musikgeschichte.
