Fortunately, the successful surgery allowed him to regain his singing voice, and he successively released albums such as "RegStrikesBack", "Sleepingwithsafter", "You Are My Only One", "Duets" and other albums. , widely welcomed. It can be seen that Elton John’s charm is still enduring. The passionate 62-year-old is already shy about wearing bright colors, but he can boldly wear a red windbreaker. At the age of 62, he has suppressed most of his passion, but he can still suddenly jump on the piano while playing. At the age of 62, everyone thought he could retire from the world, but he could sing for more than 2 hours in front of thousands of people. He is Elton John, known as the "World Rock Legend". Yesterday, on the big stage in Shanghai, he proved with his actions: At the age of 62, he can still belong to the passionate red. Elton John has been known to make a bold appearance in a red dress and suddenly sit on the piano, although he previously revealed in an interview that he only prepared one for his concert in Shanghai The clothes are a shame. But yesterday, his appearance did not disappoint the audience: a red windbreaker revealed the owner's boldness and confidence. This is 62-year-old Elton John. Elton John (left) doesn't talk too much nonsense. He sat directly in front of the piano. This is an instrument he has been playing since he was 4 years old. There's no reason not to be familiar with it. With it, Elton has been in the music scene for more than 30 years.
Yesterday, although the stage was set in Shanghai, where he gave his first concert, Elton confidently compared the performance to any show anywhere else in the world, thanks to his familiarity with the piano. As soon as his voice came out, the audience screamed. He was minding his own business, singing with a microphone next to the piano, unfazed. Years of performance experience have made this master accustomed to facing applause calmly. But no one expected that when everyone was immersed in the music, Elton John suddenly made a "sharp turn": his fingers that were flying on the keys just now suddenly sat on the piano. He looks like an "old naughty boy", which is surprising and surprising. As the music continued to stir, Elton John's emotions visibly began to rise. His feet began to "dance," occasionally placing them on the speakers beside him. This master never "plays his cards" according to common sense. Elton John (right) and her husband’s musical appeal Elton John’s musical appeal is clearly extraordinary. Many of the audience who came to the concert yesterday were foreigners. Elton's powerful musical appeal made these enthusiastic "fans" dance with joy. On the stage, Elton John sang "The Ballad of the Boy in Red Shoes", sometimes standing up to play the piano, sometimes shaking his head to the rhythm of the music. Under the stage, several foreign "fans" sitting in the front row began to dance to the music. Not to mention, they even danced in front of other members of the audience, leading them to dance along. As a result, a rare "audience dancing" scene was staged on the big stage. Faced with this situation, Elton, who had finished a song, could only express his gratitude with countless kisses. When the prelude of "Candle in the Wind" and "Can You Feel My Love Tonight", which many Chinese fans are familiar with, sounded, the venue was boiling, and the audience in the stadium could no longer restrain their passion. Everyone began to twist their waists and enjoy the happiness brought by the music. It’s hard to imagine that the man who made these audiences dance is already 57 years old. His passion was clearly evident in everyone's dancing. The famous pop star Elton John, who became popular for his singing of the theme song of "The Lion King", published a letter in the British magazine "The Hoper" on the 15th, refuting the Scottish Archbishop Thomas Venning. Thomas Wen Ning's views on homosexuality, pointing out that "the ignorance shown by bishops is the reason why people are leaving the church". Bishop Wen Ning published an article in "The Hoper" in early June, claiming that "homosexuality is wrong because it is harmful to the church." It does nothing to save people. Instead, it traps people into a lifestyle that ignores their inner desires.
For fifteen years, he believed that the unmarried Bishop Wen Ning had been in a state of abstinence and therefore had no say in the life of human companionship. Elton pointed out in a letter to "The Hoper": "Bishop Wen Ning. It shocked me to say that my sex life was of no benefit to me. From what position did he formulate this view? "As a bishop, he must have lived an ascetic life, so he must have lived an ascetic life." What right do I have to comment on other people's personal lives? I am completely satisfied with my own sexual orientation and life. I can honestly say that my deepest desires are fully satisfied." Over the past few years, Britain has become a more tolerant and enlightened society, and those outdated and wrong ideas about homosexuality as a choice have evaporated. The fact is that homosexuality is not a choice at all, and no blame or treatment can be tolerated. It may make us change ourselves." Elton has been an actor for more than 30 years, often dressing up in strange clothes. He initially concealed his homosexuality, but now he has become a well-known gay rights activist. The Elton John AIDS Foundation was established. Last year, the British gay political organization "Stonewall" held a concert for its 10th anniversary, and Elton was happy to perform on stage. The bishop himself did not want to make any comment on Sir John Donton’s views. “There is currently a debate in Scotland on whether Section 28, which prohibits teaching about homosexuality in secondary schools, should be abolished, and Bishop Wen Ning is the leader of the opposition.

John Lennon can be said to be the father of rock and roll. After the Beatles period, Lennon became an outstanding solo singer. The Beatles entered the Hall of Fame. It can be seen that he can be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame again. Although Elton John is one of the greatest rock singers in the 1970s and brought rock to the visual side (weird costumes, stage effects, etc.), he later took drugs. , and the scandal of homosexuality still has a huge negative impact. Although I also like Elton John who is old and strong, dressed in red, singing while playing the piano, but it cannot be denied that John Lennon is still more accomplished in music. Otherwise, there would not have been another Lennon craze in the 21st century
