By Sreechinth C

Elton John is one of pop music’s great survivors. He was a singer, songwriter and composer who discovered his passion for music at an early age. Elton worked with lyricist Bernie Taupin as his songwriting partner since 1967; they have collaborated on more than 30 albums to date. He fused many strands of popular music and stylish showmanship as Elvis Presley in a concert and recording career that included the sale of hundreds of millions of records. This British rock star was also knighted by the Queen for his contributions to the British pop music and his work in raising money for Aids charities. Elton John also holds the record for the second best selling single of all time with “Candle in the Wind”, which he wrote to honor Marilyn Monroe and later performed as a tribute to his friend, the late Princess Diana. Here in this book we have made an attempt to brief his life story and showcase some of his inspiring quotes.
