You Need an Elton John Update

We’ve known for decades that superstar Elton John has begun what looks like a multi-year ‘farewell’ tour, and the reason is simple; he’s getting tiresome of the road and would like to be a better parent to his two boys – Zachary and Elijah.

As Elton tours, and with financing in place, plans are underway for a film called ‘Rocket Man’ with British actor Taron Egerton starring as Elton. Reginald Kenneth Dwight, or Elton John as we know him, has sold over 300 million records, has earned countless Grammys, Brits and Billboard awards for his songwriting and performances. His net worth is somewhere around $350 million dollars.

It’s not been all peaches and cream for Elton having lost his mum a while ago, but he promises retirement is not a publicity stunt, making himself available for special outings and tributes in the future.
