His real name is Reginald Dwight, so he was probably still known by this name, or else simply as 'Reg'. He only adopted the name Elton John in 1968, as a tribute to the saxophonist Elton Dean from his old band Bluesology and also to Long John Baldry, for whom Bluesology were backing group in the mid to late '60s.

Why has Neil Diamond covered Elton Johns songs but has not acutally met Elton?

What were some important events in Elton Johns life?

Listen to the song, "Someone Saved My Life Tonight". One of the most influential events in Elton's life was when he was debating suicide during the late 60's before he became famous. In 1969, Elton was engaged to a woman named, Linda Woodrow, however Elton was having second thoughts about the marriage. One night in 1969, Elton turned on the gas stove in the apartment that he shared with his songwriter, Bernie Taupin. Once the stove was on, Elton put his head into the stove. Taupin found Elton in the kitchen and subsequently pulled him out. The reason why Elton was unsuccessful in his suicide was because the window in the kitchen was open thus allowing the gas to escape, so essentially, Elton was just lying in the stove hoping that it would eventually kill him. As a result of this, he relied a lot on his friends in order to keep him on the right path. Long John Baldry convinced Elton to cancel the marriage in order to keep his music career alive, and boy was that the best decision he has ever made. Going back to the song "Someone Saved My Life Tonight", that "someone" is Long John Baldry. Just think, if Elton's suicide attempt was successful, then we wouldn't have any of his wonderful songs available to us today.
