With more than 30 albums and 250 million records sold, Sir Elton John is one of the most celebrated and successful musical artists in the world. With his flamboyant style, raspy voice and an unerring ability to get to the heart of every song he’s written, Elton John has been recognized with Grammy Awards, a Tony Award and even an Academy Award. Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, his “Candle in the Wind” is the best selling single of all time. He has been writing with his creative partner,Bernie Taupin, since 1967. While they have collaborated on over 30 albums, they are never in the same room when writing. Active in the fight against AIDS since the 1980’s, his Elton John AIDS Foundation, started in 1992, has raised millions of dollars to fund programs for HIV/AIDS prevention as well as providing services for people living with HIV/AIDS. He was knighted in 1995 for his charitable work by Queen Elizabeth and wed his husband, David Furnish, in 2005. Elton shows no signs of slowing down, either in his quest to raise funds and awareness about HIV/AIDS or his mission to share his incredible musical talent with the world. This year Sir Elton and Furnish became parents via a surrogate and he released his 30th studio album The Union with Leon Russell.
