Elton John has come a long way from his birth in a public house on March 25, 1947 in Pinner, Middlesex. He grew up struggling as Reginald Kenneth Dwight, but decided that instead of pursuing a career in a stable field like banking, as his father tried to encourage, he went on to become one of the most recognizable rockers the 1970s and every decade since, with 50 Top 40 hits, seven consecutive number one albums in the United States, 16 top ten singles and a long list of awards. Elton John tickets continue to sell today, whether he is collaborating with Billy Joel and playing his residency in Las Vegas.

At the age of 15 Elton, then still Reginald, began playing the piano at a nearby Northwood Hills pub. Throughout the Sixties he worked odd jobs for a music publishing company and played gigs at night. He was far from selling any Elton John tickets then, but in Seventies, after working as a songwriter for DJM Records he began finally had a chance to break through with his self-titled album in 1970.
His career sky rocketed in the next few years. He recorded a song for the World Cup, played a duet with John Lennon, and started his string of number one albums in the U.S with Honky Chateau in 1972. This was the height of his career. Elton dominated the radio with songs like “Tiny Dancer”, “Rocket Man”, “Daniel”, and “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.” The songs have remained a part of the musical landscape, as fans with Elton John tickets have continued to demand to hear the songs when he plays in concert.
Elton may not have had the same string of hits in the 1980s that he had in the 1970s, but he embraced the new style of pop music and remained more than simply relevant, putting him light years ahead of many artists from the previous decade. John embraced Michael Jackson, Broadway musicals, and Billy Joel in the Nineties.
