          I can appreciate Elton John's musicianship and songwriting skill but his lifestyle and life choices are too far removed from my own life to relate much further than the sound of the music. Coincidentally, EJ's retirement coincides with something else.

          Signed,
          Me, not you

            He's supposedly coming here at the end of 2019/beginning of 2020.  Maybe.  It's still sooner than Paul will ever come.

              I Have other Rumors!

              John Elton is that right Name!

              And in Old DDR - Polydor Was made a Lot Fake Records Of Elton.

              That we Never Heard of, ELEKTRA Group Owns it - Refering To Nato Administration Investigation.

              ELEKTRA group seems dislike some Musicians, and Other is Welcome.

              One of the Familys wich Lost a Musician to the anger of ELEKTRA!

                  How did he sound?  I saw him 2 years ago with most of his heyday band and they all played like they were 30 years younger.

                      Actually, his birth name is Reginald Dwight. He legally changed it to Elton John in 1972.

                        He sounded good! Didn't try for some of the higher notes but otherwise he and the band sounded great!
