Total showman

As you would’ve expected of an Elton John’s birthday party the music and a show were a must. Since he didn’t only gave a speech about why music was so fundamental to his life. As he stated: “Music has been the one constant thing in my life. As a little boy, when my parents fought, I went into my room and listened to music. When I was on drugs, I would sob and listen to music and pray for the day when I get well.”

Also, the whole party was an event, hosted by Rob Lowe. That will benefit Elton’s Aids Foundation and UCLA’s Hammer Museum. Another thing that made the event an incredible show was Lady Gaga’s performance along Stevie Wonder wishing Elton happy birthday. Also, Gaga, Ryan Adams, and Rosanne Cash performed.
