Answer: no

Of all the people listed here he was never in a group. Elton John is a big star by himself. He was born Reginald Kenneth Dwight in 1947. His breakthrough hit was "Your Song", released in 1970, and after that he was unstoppable. He has had too many hit songs for me to list, but some of them have been "Crocodile Rock", "Bennie and The Jets" and "Candle in The Wind".

In 1997 He re-released "Candle In the Wind" and dedicated it to Princess Diana. Elton John is a very flamboyant musician. He once performed one of his songs wearing a Donald Duck costume.
