Elton John has sold over 200 million records and has had more than 56 top-40 singles. He has won five Grammys, an Academy award, Golden Globe, and a Tony. Rolling Stone magazine ranks Elton John #49 on their list of the 100 greatest artists of all time. In a marketplace that regularly disposes of its pop icons, Elton John has been a musical force for decades, bringing his incomparable genius to venues as diverse as Broadway and Las Vegas.
