Elton John

In June 1986, during the Prince's Trust Rock Gala at Wembley Arena, Elton John delivered a vibrant performance of 'I'm Still Standing.' By this time, he had recently released the album 'Leather Jackets' in 1986, which, despite not reaching the heights of his earlier classics, showcased a blend of rock and pop that was characteristic of his style. Elton was in a phase of rediscovery, still brimming with the musical genius that made him a household name, even as the 80s were a mixed bag for him commercially. This live recording perfectly captures his resilience and charisma during a transformative period in his career, underscoring the unwavering spirit that 'I'm Still Standing' embodies. Fun fact: this was a time when Elton was also heavily involved in charity work, underlining his commitment to using music for greater causes.
