Due to his contributions to the craft, he was knighted in 1998.

Before all of this, John was just a humble pianist at a pub in England. He got the job at age 15, thanks to his mother and stepfather. There, he honed his musical talent. He subsequently formed the band Bluesology with his friends. The group lasted until 1967. Thereafter, he met Bernie Taupin, who became his most trusted collaborator in many of his songs over the years.
