No one is more deserving of the accolade 'superstar' than the flamboyant multi-millionaire of rock, Elton John. With his outrageous taste in clothes, his several hundred pairs of custom made glasses and his energetic live shows, he has captured the imagination of rock fans the world over.

He has sold in excess of 35 million records worldwide, has broken chart records time and time again, as one of pop's highest paid performers, has filled huge stadiums in nearly every major country.

Toghether with lyric partner Bernie Taupin he has written some of the most popular songs of the last fifteen years - from piano pumpin' rockers like Crocodile Rock and Kiss The Bride to smooth emotive ballads such as Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Song For Guy to name just a few.

His generosity is well known - he has given Rolls Royces and Rembrandts to friends and business colleagues and donated over £1 million to his beloved Watford F.C., of which he is chairman.

But his story is also one of frustration and heartbreak. Working as a tea boy for a music publisher at £4.50 a week, struggling as a pub pianist and then a backup organist for various artists took their toll. A suicide bid turned to black comedy when he turned the gas oven on but left the windows open!

Now his latest album is his best selling LP for a decade and his surprise marriage has underlined a turn of fortune for the Seventies superstar who wouldn't let the Eighties leave without him.
