Elton John

It looks like a Canadian model, Yasmeen Ghauri, but I'm not positive.

yes.

Island Girl by Elton John went all the way to the top of the charts in the US and peeked at number 14 in the UK. The song was released in September of 1975.

Its original and its fantastic.

Up until 1986, he had a high tenor voice and also used a famous falsetto. After having surgery on his throat in 1986, his voice range lowered to baritone and lost his falsetto.

He's not rude generally speaking, but may have come across as such during some interviews he's given on the radio or in the print media.

The reasons for this may be twofold- the most likely one is that he was treated appallingly by the British tabloid press when he came out as homosexual in the mid-1980s. Although gay pop stars were known by then, they were confined largely to the New Romantic movement (i.e. Boy George, etc.), which was known to be a passing fad that would only last for a few years. Elton was the first mainstream rock star to declare his homosexuality, and as a result suffered terribly at the hands of the popular newspapers. They made the most scurrilous claims about him, which initially he tried to laugh off and treat as a joke, often playing up to them by acting 'camp' in interviews, but the poor man had to endure some really horrible libels about his private life and his sexual activities.

Matters came to a head in the late 1990s, when several British tabloids made the outrageous claim that he was effectively a paedophile, having underage boys drugged so that he could sleep with them. This was, of course, totally untrue- Elton lodged a libel suit against the 'papers concerned, was fully vindicated and received compensation (which he gave to his AIDS charity), but ever since then he has understandably been suspicious and guarded about the media, not entirely trusting them and somtimes reacting defensively if he feels they are probing too far into his private life.

The other possible reason is that he is small, and small men can often be prone to being quite belligerent and a bit paranoid about their stature.

But this is the way he is to the media, not to people he meets personally- if you were to meet him face to face, you would find him a perfect gentleman, polite, charming and courteous.

(P.S. Another possible reason why he can sometimes be perceived as rude is that he has a mischevious sense of humour. He can sometimes do parodies of the way people talk to him, or make replies to questions that seem at face value to be sarcastic, but it's not meant unkindly. He's laughing WITH the other person, not AT them, and mocks himself a lot of the time!)

Elton John has 2 children

Yes, he did a cover version of it recorded on 18th November 1974, with John Lennon on backing vocals and guitar under the pseudonym Dr. Winston O'Boogie (Winston being Lennon's middle name).

It was no.1 in the USA for a fortnight in January 1975- it also charted in the UK, but never made it to no.1.

Positively! He will remain a huge icon/legend in music. He has set a path for all other celebrities to follow with his charity work. And for me he has impacted my life greatly, his music is the soundtrack to my life, and I have learned acceptance for all walks of life thru him and his work.

no

He did not lose his sight; his eyesight is poor, and he just likes to wear prescription sunglasses.

That's specific enough.

If you're looking for his address, you should reevaluate your creepy stalking before continuing.

Elton John does not have any siblings.

Elton John, at that time, came to terms with his homosexuality.

Canadian born filmmaker David James Furnish is best known for being the civil partner of musician Elton John. Furnish has produced films such as 2011's The Muppets and directed the documentary Tantrums and Tiaras.

His parents were Stanley and Shiela Dwight- they did not get married until Elton was 6 years old. His father was a Flight Lieutenant in the Royal Air Force, and both his parents were musically inclined, his father having played trumpet in the Bob Millar Band, a semi-professional dance band of the late '40s.

Elton's father was strict with his son, and his parents never got on very well, often having terrible rows that he sometimes witnessed. They divorced when he was 14- his mother went on to marry a local painter called Fred Farebrother who was a kind and supportive stepfather to Elton.

no,

Renata was after him for his money and one of Elton's freind convinced him of that.

Elton John didn't know he was until later

(he actually wrote a song abour it)

Very likely, since Elton John listens to country music at times and is a big influence on the style of music he plays.

Elton John does soft rock, glam rock, and rock music.

Elton John is not a nerd, he simply wears thick glasses.

In a track recording, yes. Romantically, no.
