Elton John Tour 2012

In the mid 60s a British singer made it big the worldwide music scene. He became a known music legend and was one of the few artists who have been knighted by the Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II. His musical career is rarely unknown to people of different ages especially those who have mourned of the death of two icons, Marilyn Monroe and the late Princess Diana of Wales. We cried over many of his songs, especially the prolific “Candle in the Wind” and many more heartwarming and sometimes heart wrenching songs. He is Sir Elton John.

For years, Sir Elton John has not only wowed the crowd with his music, but he has been such a pillar in the music industry, that perhaps a lot of people could not imagine how it would be like without his music. He has penned songs that we can easily relate to and has a soothing voice that urges people who are listening to be inspired and perhaps sing along. He also has the charisma, which his fans have come to love about him.

This music icon has record sales of about 300 million records sold worldwide. He has won countless number of awards including five Grammy awards for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. His start at the Hollywood Walk of Fame was awarded to him in 1975. The animated film “The Lion King” earned Academy and Golden Globe Awards because of his songs that were added to the soundtrack. In 1995, he was officially honored by the Queen with a Commander Title of The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire and knighted for his charitable work as spokesperson of the American Foundation for AIDS Research and established his own AIDS Foundation.

But certainly Sir Elton John is noted not only for his various contributions to music and to charity, but also he has been act that people have seemed to follow at concerts. He has had various sold out concerts and have performed live for over millions of people in various concert tours. Perhaps, he has never struggled with keeping a good number of people at his concerts even as the music world has been populated with younger acts.

He has a recent concert tour set this September in various North American areas. After that, he is set to light up the stage of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas as he is set to do a series of shows for Elton John – The Million Dollar Piano.
