There's no need for Elton John to make any kind of 'Sacrifice' concerning his way of life - he's got enough money in the bank to do whatever he wants, whenever he wants. After almost fifty years in the music business, he can look back across all of his achievements and proudly say 'I'm Still Standing'.
John is currently on his retirement tour, having decided that the time is right to stop with the constant travel and settle down to enjoy the rest of his life with his partner David Furnish. The flamboyant star has had a glittering career, enjoying an extensive residency in Las Vegas, and is responsible for a string of major hit songs that span entire generations. He's also strongly linked in the world's mind with the funeral of Princess Diana, and his subsequent release of a special edition of 'Candle in the Wind' as a tribute to her memory.
