I had heard this story decades ago. I love Elton so much. Saw him exactly a year ago a week from today. I saw him here in Charlotte. It was my second time. I saw him in Michigan too. Both times he was amazing. My dad loved him and I lost my dad. He died at the age of 44 on July 12th. 19 years later I lost my son to a car accident. He was 25. He also died on July 12th. So needless to say listening to Elton is very emotional for me.
