    All hits, all night live

    March 16, 2011 — March 20, 2011 at Madison Square Garden


    Elton John and his band will appear in concert at Madison Square Garden, on Wednesday, March 16th, 8PM, performing their "Greatest Hits Live" concert, featuring number one chart hits and classic album tracks from throughout Elton's incredible five-decade career.

    American Express Cardholders pre-sale will begin Monday, December 13th at 11AM.
    Public on-sale will begin Friday, December 17th at 11AM.


    Elton John's band includes Davey Johnstone on guitar, Bob Birch on bass, John Mahon on percussion, Nigel Olsson on drums, and Kim Bullard on keyboards. One of the most successful live acts on the road today, Elton and his band put on the kind of concert you will never forget: the entire audience standing, dancing and singing along with much-loved classic songs such as "Your Song", "Daniel", "Rocket Man", "Bennie and the Jets" and many more including selections from The UNION, Elton and Leon Russell's critically acclaimed album on Decca Records available now. The album features a variety of musical genres from R&B, Soul, Gospel, Pop and Rock. Rolling Stone Magazine gave The UNION 5 STARS.

    "Elton John doesn't come to play Madison Square Garden. He comes to own it," said Jay Marciano, president, Madison Square Garden Entertainment. "Elton has the unique ability to make the Arena feel intimate like only few artists can do. His shows have a contagious energy and I have no doubt that Elton will rock The Garden once again for his record breaking 61st concert at MSG."

    The monumental career of international singer/songwriter and performer Elton John spans five decades. He is one of the top-selling solo artists of all time, with 35 gold and 25 platinum albums, 29 consecutive Top 40 hits, and he has sold more than 250 million records worldwide. John holds the record for the biggest selling single of all time, "Candle in the Wind ", which sold 37 million copies. Since his career began in 1969 he has played almost 3,000 concerts worldwide.


    Oklahoma musician Leon Russell chosen for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

    http://www.examiner.com/pop-culture-in-oklahoma-city/oklahoma-musician-leon-russell-chosen-for-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame
    The National Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced their 2011 class on Wednesday and Oklahoma music legend Leon Russell is one of the inductees.
    The big names announced for the 2011 inductees were shock rocker Alice Cooper and crooner Neil Diamond.
    Neil Diamond, whose known for songs like “America” and “Sweet Caroline,” is a first time nominee. Alice Cooper has been eligible for awhile but is just now getting in, a fact he said he understood with all the other great musicians still yet to hear their names called.
    Bon Jovi was eligible for the first time this year but was passed over as were The Beastie Boys.

    Leon Russell, a singer/songwriter from Tulsa, Oklahoma, has been playing southern gospel music for over 50 years now. Over his illustrtious career, he has played with George Harrison and Joe Cocker.
    In the last year, Elton John called Leon Russell and asked to record a collaborative album with him, produced by T Bone Burnett. The album was released on October 19, 2010 and hit No. 3 on the Billboard album charts.
    Leon Russell is the sixth Oklahoma based music act to receive an induction into the National Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, following Woody Gutherie, Charlie Christian, Bob Willis & His Texas Playboys, Wanda Jackson and The Ventures.
    The final names on the list include New Orleans singer Dr. John, Darlene Love and Tom Waits.
    The ceremony will be held on March 14, 2011 in New York City and air on FUSE.

     - Eu adoraria trabalhar com ela mais uma vez. Existem chances de eu gravar uma faixa do álbum Born This Way, mas ela anda tão ocupada e eu também, que nunca conseguimos nos encontrar.
      
    Lady Gaga e Elton John acabam de gravar juntos a canção Hello, Hello.  Segundo o siteEntertainment Weekly, a música fará parte da trilha sonora da nova animação da Disney, Gnomeo and Juliet, que deverá chegar aos cinemas dos EUA em fevereiro de 2011. 

    John é um dos produtores de Gnomeo and Juliet e é também co-autor da trilha sonora do filme, ao lado de James Newton Howard. O cantor já havia contribuído com outros filmes, sendo o mais notável o vencedor do Oscar, O Rei Leão. Hello, Hello marca a primeira contribuição de Gaga com a trilha sonora de um longa.

    Músico britânico admite passado «deprimente». Tornou-se bulímico e quase não dormia. Elton John confessa que quase morreu por consumir drogas.
    Vera Valadas Ferreira | vferreira@destak.pt
    Elton John confessou em entrevista ao canal britânico ITV que consumiu drogas durante muito anos e que estas quase o mataram. O músico admitiu mesmo sentir calafrios quanto reflecte sobre o seu comportamento nesses velhos tempos.
    «Tinha ataques epilépticos que me punham azul e as pessoas davam comigo no chão. Metia-me na cama e ao fim de 40 minutos já estava a snifar outra linha», recorda.
    A vida era uma tragédia
    «Era tão deprimente: dormia até tarde, fumava charros e bebia uma garrafa de Johnnie Walker. Ou então ficava acordado durante três dias e depois ia dormir durante um dia e meio. Quando acordava, tinha tanta fome que engolia três pedaços de bacon, uma taça de gelado e depois vomitava - na altura tornei-me bulímico - e voltava a repetir tudo. A minha vida era uma tragédia», evoca o artista.
    Não obstante tal cenário negro, Elton nunca se considerou um drogado, termo que associava a pessoas de braços picados, viciadas em heroína. «Eu era o maior junkie que havia», reconhece. Questionado sobre o objecto que maior felicidade lhe deu, apontou sem pudores um certo vibrador, «sem dúvida, um de ouro».
    Coleccionador de fotografias
    «Colecciono fotografias desde 1991, e eu e o David [o marido] temos, provavelmente, a maior colecção privada de fotografia. É algo que levo muito a sério, apesar de não falar muito sobre isso», avançou o músico na mesma entrevista.

    Veja 10 álbuns mais gays de todos os tempos, segundo revista


    A revista Out Magazine elegeu os cem melhores e mais gays discos de todos os tempos. Especializada no universo gay, a publicação entrevistou atores, músicos, comediantes, DJs e outras personalidades para votarem em seus preferidos. Este ano a lista expandiu os horizontes e músicos heterossexuais também entraram no ranking.
    Entre as escolhas há clássicos desse universo, como Abba (42º colocado) e Cher (em 82º), além de artistas menos esperados, como o Nirvana em 58º.
    Uma das divas do público, Madonna figurou cinco vezes na lista, com os álbuns Madonna (86º), Confessions of a Dancefloor (87º), Erotica (36º), Ray of Light (46º) e em sua melhor posição, o 8º lugar, com a coletânea dos primeiros sucessos da carreira, Immaculate Collection.
    O melhor e mais gay disco de todos os tempos eleito foi The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, do David Bowie. "É até irônico que um homem heterossexual esteja no topo desta lista", escreveu a revista.
    Saiba quais são em ordem decrescente:

    10. Antony and the Johnsons - 'I Am a Bird Now'(2005): A voz andrógina de Antony Hegarty, com traços da habilidade da cantora Nina Simone, e o tom "desesperado para ser entendido pelo mundo" são alguns dos elementos que fizeram 'I Am a Bird Now', o álbum que deu fama ao grupo, conquistar a décima posição na lista.
    9. Cyndi Lauper - 'She's So Unusual' (1983): O álbum de estreia de Cindy Lauper tem hits como 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun' e 'Time After Time', que dominaram as pistas na década de 1980. O posicionamento de Lauper, sempre apoiando causas gays e campanhas de conscientização sobre a AIDS, também fizeram com que a cantora fosse escolhida.
    8. Madonna - 'The Immaculate Collection' (1990): É com a coletânea de seus primeiros hits que Madonna conquista seu posto mais alto no ranking. Quase todas as 17 faixas inclusas no disco dominaram a cena gay, como 'Like a Virgin', 'Like a Prayer' e 'Vogue', com sua coreografia marcante.
    7. Elton John - 'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road' (1973): Na sétima posição, Elton John aparece com o álbum duplo recheado de "baladas que fazem chorar e roques que fazem dançar", descreve a revista. A canção 'All the Girls Love Alice' ganha destaque por ser pioneira ao falar sobre um relacionamento entre meninas.
    6. The Smiths - 'The Queen Is Dead' (1986): As músicas que fazem qualquer gay se identificar são o grande trunfo da banda inglesa, segundo a publicação. Além do sucesso 'There Is a Light That Never Goes Out', a balada sobre como a vida é miserável sem amor 'This Charming Man' justifica a escolha do álbum no sexto lugar.
    5. Judy Garland - 'Judy at Carnegie Hall' (1961): A atriz que interpretou Dorothy no clássico 'O Mágico de Oz' conquistou a quinta posição pela intensidade do disco de seu show ao vivo no Carnegie Hall, em Nova York. "Ela não é uma lenda por acaso", declarou o ator Wilson Cruz, um dos eleitores do ranking.
    4. Indigo Girls - 'Indigo Girls' (1989): Com a pecha de ter dado início a onda de cantoras folk, a dupla Indigo Girls criou baladas sinceras e emocionantes sobre o amor lésbico. A faixa 'Closer to Fine' ganhou destaque da revista.
    3. Tracy Chapman - 'Tracy Chapman' (1988): "Uma revolução cantada com um sussurro". É esse o mérito que faz a cantora Tracy Chapman estar no pódio dos discos mais gays de todos os tempos. O disco, que vendeu milhões de cópias, fala sobre injustiças sociais e sonhos frustrados, como em 'Fast Car'.
    2. The Smiths - 'The Smiths' (1984): Não é apenas o galã Joe Dallesandro descamisado na capa que fez o disco de estréia do The Smiths conquistar a medalha de prata desta lista. A sensibilidade que o grupo trouxe à música da década de 1980 em cações como 'Reel Around the Fountain' fez com que os gays se sentissem compreendidos, diz a revista.
    1. David Bowie - 'The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars' (1972): um dos eleitores, o cantor Boy George declarou que o lançamento do disco criou um "mundo em que as possibilidades não tinham limites". Segundo a 'Out' é "até irônico que um homem heterossexual esteja no topo desta lista".

    Elton John says he would live 'in a caravan' as long as he had partner David... after admitting he once demanded a private jet be re-painted before he would fly

    By Andrea Magrath
    Last updated at 1:40 PM on 13th December 2010
    During his appearance on Piers Morgan's Life Stories last night, Elton John's showbiz friends joked about him being 'most famous for spending money.'
    Broadcaster Johnnie Walker even recalled a Christmas where he witnessed the superstar and David Furnish giving each other gold-plated Monopoly sets as gifts.
    But the 63-year-old icon insists that he would 'live in a caravan,' as long as he had Furnish.
    'Not shallow': Elton John said on last night's Piers Morgan's Life Stories that he would 'live in a caravan' as long as he had husband David Furnish

    During the revealing interview with Piers Morgan on the ITV show, Elton was asked about his reputation for extravagance.
    'There's no getting away from it, It's fun to have money,' he admitted.

    'Could you go back to being poor?' Morgan asked him.

    'Listen, I have said to David, "I would live with you in a caravan, as long as I had you,"' he said.
    'I'm not that facile, I'm not that shallow.
    'I think about it sometimes, I think it would be nice to b****r off and buy a little house somewhere and have a simple life.
    'If I had David in my life and my friends, I could live anywhere.'
    But Elton added: 'I'm too far gone now, I'm too far in, you can't run away like that.'
    'I'm very comfortable with my spending.
    'I have no guilt, Piers. I earn the money, I pay my taxes.
    'I've never lived anywhere else but Britain - it goes back into the economy, what's the problem?'
    Elton says that he was more demanding back in his drugs haze, confirming that he once demanded that a private jet be re-painted before he would board.
    'Yeah that's true,' the Your Song singer admitted.

    'It was a 707; It was a turd colour. It was like an enormous flying turd,' he recalled.
    'The record company paid for it to be re-painted and there was all stars.
     

    'I was in the position to do that, and everyone who used it after was grateful for it.'

    But the legendary hit maker was coy when asked to confirm the items on his rider (the list of demands for his dressing room).
    Frank: Elton did admit that 'having money is fun' and confirmed that he once demanded a private jet be re-painted

    Saying that he had a peak at the list before the show, Morgan said: 'It's quite fascinating,' telling the audience that it demanded that the room was 'exactly 68 degrees fahrenheit' and asked four 'three six-foot-long banquet tables with white linen tablecloths.'
    'I don't actually know what my rider is,' John replied.
    He did concede the specific instructions for the bouquet of flowers in his dressing room however, which included 'No chrysanthemums, no lilies, no carnations, and definitely no daisies.'
    'Whats the problem?': The hit maker defended his extravagant lifestyle, saying he earned his money and pays his taxes

    'Well chrysanthemums are pretty horrible, carnations don't look good in a vase, lilies don't smell very nice... and daisies I've got nothing against whatsoever,' he said.
    Referring to his documentary Tantrums and Tiaras, he said 'sometimes people are a spoiled brat,' and I wanted to show that.'
    The artist also revealed that he is still attracted to women, despite coming out of the closet forty years ago.
    Dream: Piers Morgan told Elton John that he's been waiting to interview him for 25 years'

    Asked by Morgan about his relationship with ex-wife Renate Blauel - whom he married in Sydney in 1984 - he said: 'When I was in bed with her and we were having sex it was great but I thought, "This is not right, I should probably be with a man."'
    But he said he still fancies women: 'There are so many beautiful women in the world,' he said. 'How can you not think a woman is beautiful?'

    Sir Elton John sent a personal invitation for Medvedev to his concert in November. In his letter the singer said: "You are a true fan of modern rock music that unites people from all over the world, regardless of their racial, political and religious views. I'll be very grateful if you will accept my invitation.”<br /><br />

    President Medvedev has shown that he really likes modern music. In particular, he met with U2 leader Bono in Sochi in August and discussed with him his devotion to Led Zeppelin.

    Elton John: 'It's Fun To Have Money'

    http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2010/12/13/elton_john_its_fun_to_have_money

    lton John would give up his fame and fortune and live in a caravan - as long as partner David Furnish is by his side.

    The Rocket Man has amassed a huge wealth after selling millions of records around the world and is famed for his lavish tastes and spending habits. However, the rocker is adamant he would have no problem turning his back on his luxury lifestyle to enjoy a "simple life" - as long as he was surrounded by his loved ones.

    He tells Piers Morgan on his U.K. TV show Life Stories, "It's fun to have money. (But) I said to David, 'Listen, I would live with you in a caravan as long as I have you.' I do believe I could give it up. I have thought sometimes that it'd be nice to just buy a little house somewhere and b**ger off and have a simple life."

    "But I'm too far gone in now, it has crossed my mind sometimes, when you feel a bit overwhelmed. I'm not that shallow and I'm not facile. If I had David in my life and my friends, I could live anywhere."



    he Union Between Elton John & Leon Russell

    Posted by ChrisRogers86 on December 12th, 2010 at 11:15 am



    Elton John and Leon Russell recently released a collaborative album, The Union, which has just been named one of the best this year by Rolling Stone Magazine. The album has also been nominated for a Grammy award.
    These two almost seem like the odd couple and it is surprising to see such different artists come together. But, Elton has always been fascinated by the likes of Russell.

    “I’ve always called him the master,” said Sir Elton. “When anyone says, ‘Who’s your favorite piano player?’ I always said, ‘Well, the master is Leon Russell.’”
    Which made it especially nerve-racking when Elton looked out in the audience at a Los Angeles club, as he made his U.S. debut in 1970:
    “I’m in the middle of ‘Burn Down the Mission,’” he recalled, “and I look to my right, and there’s only 250 people in the Troubadour, and in the second row, I see this long mane of silver hair, and these glasses, and you know, Leon was a pretty handsome guy!”
    And in time, Elton rose with his superstardom and Russell…fell off the map.
    Year later, Elton went off to Africa and filled his iPod with Russell tracks.
    “I rang him up,” Elton said, “and said, ‘It’s me, 39 years later. Would you like to do a record?’ And he said, ‘Do you think I can?’ I went, ‘What do you mean, you think you can? Of course, you can.’”
    And the rest is history. Have you listened to the new Elton John/Leon Russell album? What do you think?
