Elton John
If you have watched the 2019 film Rocketman starring Taron Egerton, you must have a deep understanding of who Elton John is. A pianist and songwriter, he rose to prominence as a musical artist loved worldwide. To this, he earns several accolades and recognitions locally and internationally. Likewise, his one-of-a-kind costumes and showmanship are to credit for his fame.
Aside from his music, John is also a known advocate of AIDS awareness.
He founded the Elton John AIDS Foundation in 1992 to support the cause. In 2018, John announced his retirement from touring to focus on his family. The said retirement is being commemorated by a 3-year farewell tour that kicked off in September 2018 and will finish by 2023. However, due to the current global situation, the farewell tour was canceled and will resume on an unspecified date. His latest works as of 2020 are collaborations with other artists – these are Sine from Above with Lady Gaga and The Pink Phantom with Gorillaz and rapper 6lack.
