Elton John, as Reginald Kenneth Dwight, is an English singer-songwriter and pianist born in Pinner, Middlesex, in 1947.
Elton John, the English rock artist formerly known for his showy attire and streak of hit albums, has recently become a humanitarian with a special interest in assisting acquired immune deficiency syndrome organisations. Elton John was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight on March 25, 1947, in the Middlesex town of Pinner. He was an only kid who was overweight and wore spectacles, and he was terrified of his father, a Royal Air Force squadron captain whom he characterised as "quite snooty and sort of stiff." His mother, on the other hand, brought home recordings that exposed him to rock music.
