Personal 6

Born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on 25 March 1947 in England, UK.
Confessed to years of extreme cocaine addiction, reckless spending, toxic relationships, and near-death excesses at the height of his fame.
A close friend forced him into rehab in the early �90s, a decision Elton later credited with saving his life and career.
After some of the wildest party years in music history, Elton got sober in 1990. He later admitted his addictions nearly destroyed him�and credits sobriety for saving both his life and career.
Elton John defended Prince Harry�s private jet usage while facing similar criticism for his own frequent flights.
He faced a lawsuit from a security guard who accused him of sexual harassment, a case that stunned the industry.

Career 1

Left school at 17 to play piano at a local pub�within years, he became one of the greatest musicians of all time.
