Elton John: The Bitch is Back

Description

"Elton John's parents knew early on he was a music prodigy--they just had no idea that their classically-trained son, Reggie Dwight, would transform from a shy, introverted schoolboy to one of the world's most extraordinary and outrageous pop-rock superstars in the world. Elton John has sold over 200 million records and has had more than 56 top-40 singles. He has won five Grammys, and Academy award, a Golden Globe, and a Tony, Rolling Stone magazine ranks Elton #49 on their list of the 100 greatest artists of all time. In a marketplace that regularly disposes of its pop icons, Elton John has been a musical force for decades, bringing his incomparable genius to venues as diverse as Broadway and Las Vegas.
