UPDATE TO BELOW STORY....
Elton John has enjoyed a career spanning more than 60 years, and he’s learned many lessons along the way.
During a conversation with Rolling Stone UK, the legendary singer shared some of his wisdom, advising new artists to “keep trying to play live” as much as they can.
“That’s the way you improve as a musician and songwriter. It doesn’t matter if you’re playing to 40 people,” John explained. “The more experience you get playing to nobody, the better. Because when I played in Musicology (sic), we played to hardly anybody sometimes.”
Elton will celebrate his 78th Birthday tomorrow.
