Elton John - The Captain and the Kid

The original 'Captain Fantastic' was the first album ever to debut on the Billboard chart at No.1, during the staggering creative hot streak that represented Elton's first wave of global success, and incorporated at least one top 40 entry on the Hot 100 every year from 1970 to 1995 inclusive. The new album will seize the momentum of Elton's acclaimed albums of the new century, 2004's 'Peachtree Road' and 2001's multi-platinum selling 'Songs From The West Coast,' records that saw his creative spirit and span reaching new levels.

He's the last person to sit at home admiring the trophy cabinet, but you hardly need to run to the record books to recall endless other honours in Elton's extraordinary lifetime, from Ivor Novello trophies and the Music Industry Trusts' Award to his fellowship of the British Academy of Composers and Songwriters. He is the embodiment of the phrase "lifetime achievement" at award ceremonies the world over.

Sparkle and showmanship have always been part of Elton John's make-up, but they should never obscure the painstaking craftsmanship, commitment and sheer graft that accompany everything he does. That's as true in 2006 as it was when he first began to cover the world stage in 1970, as payback arrived for his years of struggle and study.
