Elton John

Elton John
Sometimes when I’m flying over the Alps I think, 'that’s like all the cocaine I sniffed.'
Elton John
Don't let the sun go down on me Although I search myself, it's always someone else I see I'd just allow a fragment of your life to wander free But losing everything is like the sun going down on me
Elton John
I've had my fills of cocaine and pills.
Elton John
I had to learn how to function as a human being. And I really enjoyed that process.
Elton John
At heart I've always been a music fan. That part of me has never changed since I was a little kid, sitting in a room watching a record go round, looking at the colour of the labels.
Elton John
I tour as many countries as possible, and I've toured every state in America, plus every province in Canada.
