Elton John


Elton John may be 74 years old, but he certainly has not lost his sense of style. The father of two still has his extravagant sense of fashion that made him the pop icon that he is – apart from his immense musical talent, of course. Before his rise to international fame, the British pianist was also a songwriter-for-hire. He wrote songs for artists such as Lulu and was even a session musician for bands like The Scaffold and The Hollies. One of his early chart-topping hits is Your Song. Its commercial success reached both the UK and the US, and it effectively earned him a certain degree of international popularity. Furthermore, he has won five Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes, two Academy Awards, and a Tony Award.

Apart from his prolific music career, the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer is also an accomplished businessman. He was the owner of Watford F.C. and is an honorary life president. Elton is also a philanthropist who owns the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
