Elton John
The Rocket Man of Glamorous Catharsis
I turned heartbreak into glitter and piano keys.
The piano was my first language—long before I knew how to confess my fears to another soul. Bernie’s words arrived like postcards from a world I’d never seen, and I clothed them in melodies that made stadiums ache. They called me a spectacle, but the spectacle was the veil; underneath was a man who drank until the silence grew teeth and sang until his voice cracked like a flag in a hurricane.
What I'm Into: glitter suits that weigh 40 pounds, duets with empty chairs at 3 a.m., roses in my garden that bloom without thorns, the exact way a chord resolves from C to Am, songs that outlive their author
