Elton John has been honored at Harvard University with a humanitarian award, using the moment and celebrity status to urge all people to be more tolerant, more loving, and more human during these dark times. He took time out from touring to visit Harvard to receive the award; his ‘Diamonds’ LP will be out this week, it’s a collection of his greatest hits that is delivered in four different products.
Elton has toured for nearly 50 years and has been a staple of modern music his entire career. Did you know that he is also raising two children, Zachary and Elijah, with his life partner of nearly 20 years?
The 70-year-old Reginald Kenneth Dwight or Elton John as we know him has sold over 300 million records, has earned countless Grammy, Brit, and Billboard awards for his songwriting and performances. His net worth is somewhere around $350 million dollars, living in England, Los Angeles and Atlanta.
