Performing, 2008
Reginald Kenneth Dwight (Sir Elton John) has been singing and playing his red piano for audiences at Las Vegas, Nevada's Caesars Palace since Feb. 2004. Now Elton has decided to close his "The Red Piano" show for good. His final show will be held April 22 with tickets going on sale this Thursday. With this final performance in April, Elton will have completed 241 shows at Caesars.
Elton was born in Pinner, Middlesex on March 25, 1947 to parents, Sheila Eileen (Harris) and Stanley Dwight. He started playing the piano at the age of three, and within a year, his mother heard him picking out Winifred Atwell's "The Skater's Waltz" by ear. It wasn’t long before he was being pressed into service as a performer at parties and family gatherings. He began taking piano lessons at the age of seven. If you can believe it, when Elton began to seriously consider a career in music, his father tried to steer him toward a more "conventional" career such as banking. Elton John has now been a music legend for close to forty years.
