Elton John

In 2011, Elton John was riding high on the success of his album 'The Union,' which he released in 2010 in collaboration with Leon Russell. This marked a significant chapter in his career, as it brought together generations of music, blending Elton's iconic sound with Leon's rich, bluesy influences. The performance in Denver on April 12th was a benefit concert for the Matthew Shepard Foundation, highlighting Elton's ongoing commitment to LGBTQ+ rights and social causes. It's fascinating to consider how after decades in the industry, Elton remained deeply passionate about advocacy while still thrilling audiences with his live performances. The show at Wells Fargo Theatre not only showcased his musical talents but also underscored his role as a thoughtful artist engaged in important societal issues.
