One of the most famous singing stars in the west, Elton John has been in the singing circle for over 30 years. “Candle In the Wind 97”, a song in memory of Diana. the late Princess of Wales killed in a car accident in Paris on August 31, 1997, was especially well received. About 31.8 million copies of records have been sold, breaking the Guinness World Record of 30 million copies set by Bing Crosby's“White Christmas”.
From the 1970s to the 1980s, Elton published over 30 albums and made quite a lot of singing tours. He was known as the best rock-and-roll singer in the world after the Beatles because he filled the blank left by the disappearance of the latter in good time.
Elton is not only a singer but also a philanthropist (慈善家). In 1993 he organized“Elton John AIDS Fund”and within four years he collected $12 million. It was the same interest in charity that made him a good friend of Princess Diana. He was given the title of Lord (勋爵) in 1995.
Written by Bernie and sung by Elton in 1973, “Candle In the Wind 97”used to be a song especially for Marilyn Monroe, a famous US film star. When hearing the death of Princess Diana, they rewrote the song to honour her. The money from the sales of the records was given to Diana Charity Foundation.
