Some excellent choices there @thespiceman

Bit of Elton John for me today after watching his documentary on BBC1 last night, worth watching on iPlayer if you missed it!

Hello @OverlyAnxious Thank you for links. Did watch it reminded me of the struggles a famous person goes through.
Song Good Bye Yellow Brick Road.
Like a lot of the early stuff very interesting albums especially the one never claimed to be issued and was shelved but a few copies exist shows his marvellous insights for music . The influences the heart of his soul.
Also the addiction and the that resonate with me as an former alcoholic. Alcoholism spreads to all quarter of society no body is immune.
Now a person clean but having physical problems as mental it is a heart breaking story but he has used given. His wealth to help others.
HIV one such project, add to that his generosity.
In my area he gave ay free tickets to the local school. He was performing at the big centre near by and issued these tickets through his management company.
Like the guy as he also stands up for those of vulnerable groups or consider social outcasts.
Why all should be aware of those that do a lot. In our Country but never get mention. Just the social media rubbish and gossip. I do think we need to think about those like Elton who have done a considerable contribution to this country is a private man and we should respect that.
Emotive a lot of time.
