Sir Elton (Hercules) John is one of modern music's most influential recording artists. His great accomplishments as a musician, singer/songwriter, and performer has earned him several prestigious awards and even status as a knight.

The song tells of "Bennie and the Jets", a fictional band of whom Elton John is a supposed fan. In interviews, Taupin has said that the song's lyrics are a satire on the music industry of the 1970s. The greed and glitz of the early '70s music scene is portrayed by Taupin's words.
Is the song Norma jean by elton joun about marylin monroe?
Yes, it first came out in 1973 and was intended as an elegy to her early death- her real name was Norma Jean Baker.
The song was actually called 'Candle In The Wind'- he released a version of it with altered lyrics in tribute to Princess Diana when she was killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997, and played it at her funeral.
He:
- plays piano
- writes music
- performs in flamboyant, royal fashion
- tours the world playing concerts in far less than 80 days
- up-keeps a touring schedule that would kill an artist half his age
- runs a football (English soccer) club [Watford F.C.]
- runs a charity organization [the Elton John AIDS Foundation or EJAF]
- supports several charity organizations [typically supporting those with AIDS]
- does amazing handstands on the piano [basically being "Rocket Man"/"Captain Fantastic"]
- makes interestingly controversial comments on society and politics
- has hot, prolific, and public tantrums/fights with other celebrities
- hangs out with other gay men
Elton is not married- he is homosexual, and although he probably has a partner they are not in an official same-sex union.
CORRECTION: I was wrong about the last bit, he IS in fact in a civil partnership with his long-time lover David Furnish, a former advertising executive and now a film-maker. They've been together since 1993, and entered the partnership on 21st December 2005.
In the late '60s he was engaged to be married to his first lover, secretary Linda Woodrow, but nothing came of it. On 14th February 1984 he married a German recording engineer called Renate Blauel, but they divorced four years later and many people speculated that the marriage was merely a cover for Elton's homosexuality.
