Happy 75th Birthday to Sir Elton John! Celebrate with ‘Diamonds’ in Dolby Atmos and His 30th Annual Oscars Viewing Party 3/27

Today, March 25, is a milestone for Sir Elton John: It’s his 75th birthday.
The beloved singer/songwriter/cultural figure/legend/philanthropist is beloved the world over, and for good reason. His music stands the test of time, his personality larger than life and his contributions to society as a whole unmatched.
Even Elton, always a humble soul with a self-deprecating, “Who, me?” spirit about him, had to take stock and make note of the important birthday:
“I’m not usually one to look back or get nostalgic, but 75 is such a milestone birthday. I’ll definitely find time today to take stock and thank my lucky stars for my wonderful family, friends, and career.
“I feel unbelievably lucky that at 75, I still love what I do so much – I’m still so energized about music and excited I get to play, listen and talk about this every single day. Being back on the road is a blast, and the thrill of playing live is as amazing as it was 50 years ago.
“I have so much to pass on to the new generation of fans and artists alike, and I’m determined to keep giving back to the industry that has given me so much.”
Happy Birthday to the man, the legend, Elton John.
Talent, showmanship, and a charitable heart.
75 years old today. @eltonofficial #Elton75 #eltonjohn75 pic.twitter.com/TxMCRnnmHu— Rock Cellar Magazine (@RockCellarMag) March 25, 2022

Per a news release, Elton is also featured in a new episode of Dua Lipa’s podcast:
In another celebration of Elton’s milestone birthday, today also sees the unveiling of the latest episode of IHeartRadio’s ‘Dua Lipa: At Your Service’ – Dua’s podcast, which features a brilliantly insightful, warm, and unguarded interview between her and Elton, out now. Listen here. The pair’s deep-seated friendship needs no explanation – look only to the charts to see how the whole world has embraced their bonafide global hit 2021 single, “Cold Heart (PNAU Remix)” – a chart-topping single in the UK, taken from Elton’s critically acclaimed album ‘The Lockdown Sessions’ – also a UK album chart-topping smash. Timed to celebrate his Birthday, listeners of this week’s At Your Service will now get a coveted seat at the table while the pair talk shop. From tales of wild nights at Studio 54 to how some of his most memorable songs and moments came about because he’d been in the “right place at the right time,” Elton has some of the most unmissable stories at his fingertips, and he’s sharing them with the listener.
Loved seeing @eltonofficial and @brandicarlile on @GMA this morning talking about her upcoming #EJAFOscars performance and what we can expect from this year’s iconic event.
