Elton John is an English singer-songwriter, composer, and pianist. Born on March 25, 1947 in Pinner, Middlesex, he has been one of the dominant forces in rock and popular music, particularly during the 1970s. With over 200 million records sold, Elton John is considered one of the most successful artists of all time.
Throughout his career, Elton John has achieved remarkable success with more than 50 Top 40 hits including seven consecutive No.1 U.S. albums, as well as a total of 59 Top 40 singles. He has also garnered numerous chart-topping achievements such as having four No.2 hits and nine No.1 hits.
In addition to his commercial success, Elton John's talent has been recognized with five Grammy awards and two Academy Awards. His influence on popular music cannot be overstated; he has had a profound impact on the industry and contributed to the enduring popularity of incorporating piano into rock and roll.
In recognition of his exceptional songwriting abilities, Elton John was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1992. Furthermore, his contributions to music were honored when he was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 as a performer.

Elton John releases his ultimate greatest hits collection Diamonds.

Kicking off with the ever-stunning Your Song, this definitive collection brings together all the landmark hits of one of the greatest song books of all time, including Tiny Dancer, Rocket Man, Candle In The Wind, Don’t Go Breaking My Heart, Sacrifice, Can You Feel The Love Tonight?. Making its first appearance on an Elton hits collection, Diamonds also features Elton’s duet with George Michael on the classic Don’t Let The Sun Go Down On Me. Diamonds coincides with the 50th anniversary of Elton’s phenomenal songwriting partnership with Bernie Taupin. Meeting in 1967 through a music magazine advert seeking songwriters, Elton and Bernie went on to become one of the most enduring songwriting duos of all time, achieving a sustained level of success that puts them head and shoulders above the competition. Catapulted into the limelight as a songwriting force in 1971 with Your Song, the duo never stood still creatively, defining an era with their run of back-to-back classic 1970’s albums. While Candle In The Wind topped the charts in three different decades and 2013’s critically acclaimed The Diving Board was a top three hit in the UK, their legacy is one that is unrivalled in terms of longevity, creativity and commercial success.
