Elton John

Reginald Kenneth Dwight, better known as Sir Elton John is an English born (Mar 25) singer-songwriter, composer and pianist. In the 1990s, he is perhaps best known for rewording "Candle in the Wind" as a tribute to Princess Diana in 1997. He had 3 UK chart toppers with "Candle in the Wind" (5 weeks in September 1997), the double-A side "Sacrifice/Healing Hands" (5 weeks in June 1990) and the duet with George Michael, "Don't let the sun go down on me" (2 weeks in November 1991). The George Michael duet was a live recording from a George Michaek concert in London in March that year. Elton made a number of collaborations that charted including with Eric Clapton, Kiki Dee, Marcella Detroit, LeAnn Rimes, Luciano Pavarotti and RuPaul. Elton also wrote and sung on "Can you feel the love tonight" and "Circle of life" for the "Lion King" movie in 1994.

Elton John was knighted by the Queen and became a "Sir" in 1998. Recently, he made a memorable cameo helping Colin Firth and Taron Egerton in "Kingsman: The Golden Circle" (2017) and Egerton returned the favour by playing Elton in the biopic "Rocketman".
