Hi, I'm Elton john, you may not have guessed that, but I am here we go.

Um ah God, I was so young there and that was probably all I could afford.

And it showed the trousers are very bell bottom me.

So it was obviously taken in the late 60s, I would think, apparently was my first publicity shot.

And so that obviously went down very well.

I don't remember it being publicized anywhere.

But I'm very, very young and very, very naive and I obviously have no idea what's to come in the next 50 odd years.

Ah, wherever we went, we picked up badges and the badges were sewn on by members of the band's wives.

I remember trying to wear this outfit to Disneyland and we had a special passes and it was so exciting and I was really happy.

And then we got to Disneyland and they said, oh you can't come in here with these badges on your Outfit and none of them really offensive at all.

I used to wear denim in the early 70s and I absolutely loathe denim.

Now, I think every piece of denim in the world should be burnt.

This is when I played at my football club Watford Football club before I became chairman, I've been a fan of Watford Football club ever since I was six years old.

And so to play a concert at Vicarage Road where the ground is was really emotional for me and obviously this was the colors of the football team, the outfit.

Probably anne Revie, I look like a matador who's just, I had one drink too many and stumbled into a concert.

I don't know, I like the glasses, The glasses are great.

It was a very important day and that outfit was meant to show my love for the club.

Ah I remember this las Vegas and there's the fabulous Diana ross on the right and share being shared on the left and me stuck in the middle and my outfit was by bob mackie shares was definitely by bob mackie.

I'm not sure about Diana's and all three artists are still going strong share me and Diana ross.

It's a rather lovely photograph of three people who have remained successful.

As you can see, this was the era of platform shoes and obviously I'm looking to buy a new pair of shoes that day because I don't have any.

And my outfit is so tasteful with those lovely shorts and the hat and the glasses with the feathers on them.

I think yeah, I always said if I was a woman I would spend all my money on handbags, shoes, accessories because they're just ridiculous.

I mean men's shoes have gotten so good over the years and they used to be horrible, but women's accessories are so incredible.

I loved my success in the early days and I loved dressing up and I loved clothes.

And this is a photograph of me enjoying my stuff.

And obviously there's a lot of stuff to enjoy.

Hollywood Walk of Fame when I got my star on Hollywood boulevard, which was a lovely day.

I couldn't believe I was getting a star on Hollywood boulevard So early in my career, the suit is bob mackie and I think there's a badge on the star of people who had already been on the Walk of Fame.

The glasses played a very, very important part in my career because Having been born a little bit myopic glasses that were available in England were not very good.

When I got to America in 1970 and found this store called boutique on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles.

I took glasses to a new level with that store.

I got implants and I don't have to wear glasses.

And I decided now an associate with walmart to make an Elton john line of glasses because a portion of the proceeds go to the Elton john AIDS foundation.

And you know that bob mackie outfit is just to die for and I wish I had the same West line now.

Uh huh talking to bob mackie, here's the sort of thing, you go down to um the grocery store and when you dressed up to come on stage, you felt you were ready for a show and if you weren't ready for a show with this outfit and you'll never be ready, but it's part of the british psyche.

You look at Mick jagger and you look at marc Bolan and Rod Stewart and David Bowie, we all had this desire to come on stage and when you put your costume on, you're ready to perform, I couldn't ever really come on stage and look normal or you know, as normal as one could.

It was me evolving into the madcap artists that they became.

Mhm this outfit is one of my favorite outfits of all time.

This is the one I wore on the muppet show.

I don't, this might be from the muppet show because I don't normally play a white piano.

So it was made by Bill Whitten who was an incredible L a designer In in the early 1970s and this was so much fun to wear.

I mean, I used to get feathers in my mouth when I was singing and it was so heavy and this was reused several times in the film Kingsman too.

And also when I just did a commercial in America with little knapsacks and he wore that outfit and I wore one of his outfits, but this was something else, it was funny.

He would never, anything like that had been seen before.

I know Bernie Taupin, my lyricist wasn't exactly happy about it and a lot of people just thought, why does he have to wear that?

You know, I sat at the piano, I'm not Mick, jagger, I'm not Rod Stewart, I'm not David, Bowie, I don't move around the stage, I've got to attract attention somehow.

I wanted, I didn't want to repeat myself and I wanted to as I, you know, got more and more famous to become more outrageous.

I think Cher did the same thing, we're both kindred spirits in that we just wanted to get more and more outrageous and I think you can say that is outrageous, hahaha, leaping forward a lot of years.

This was taken backstage at Earls Court in London at the show that I did, that's Princess Diana, and that's me and Gianni versace.

One of my favorite pictures taken by Richard Young, I love this picture so much.

I have a copy of it in the library and it was such a great night and we were having such a great time and we went out afterwards.

Um and johnny became of course one of my greatest friends, my clothes really were made by a certain few people because I loved working with them.

This brings back so many great memories and it makes me sad and it makes me happy at the same time.

Gianni versace again and donatella now I think this was taken at the opening of a shop.

Gianni versace store in London leather jacket, leather waistcoat, leather trousers, there's enough leather on there to make a chesterfield couch johnny again became my best friend donatella, still one of my best friends.

They're incredibly kind, wonderful people and inspirational and two photographs of Diana and two now of Gianni versace outfits Made me realise I lost two incredible Friends in the, in the most tragic way six weeks apart.

I have a photograph of him next to my bed.

He was full of love and his clothes were full of vibrant, beautiful colors, beautifully made, johnny's thing was quality, quality, quality, quality.

I said I want the biggest wig of all time and I want a galleon on it with smoke coming out of it and she didn't bat an eyelid and I said I want to look like louis the 14th on acid.

The tragedy of this is that we were taken to the party which was only about should have been five minutes away in a furniture lorry because I couldn't get in a car, but the driver went the wrong way, he went the long way around and we got stuck in the traffic going to the party.

So I was in the van for 45 minutes that wig must have weighed 13 £14 and it was stuck on with glue, knitting needles, Pepin's, everything, the wig will go and then on the other side it was like marge Simpson and I was in agony and I was so angry.

We finally reached the Hammersmith palais where the party was and they lowered down the van and I'm going and as they saw my face I went high and luckily enough I had the good sense to know there was another outfit waiting for me to change into with another wig which wasn't so heavy, I didn't even say hello to anybody as I went and I just went straight upstairs and changed outfits because I was in so much pain, that's what vanity will do for you.

But it is the motherfucker of all outfits.

Ah yes gaga and I at the Grammys, that's an Armani tuxedo that I'm wearing is the only time I've ever worn Armani God, I love her.

We've had so much fun together when she first arrived at my house that you're in now she couldn't get through the front door because her heels were so big and her hat was too tall and I've got a big front door and she came on the plane like that.

She has that ability to look so out there and then looks so classic as well.

And when she on her film premieres and when she's doing red carpet, she looks amazing.

And then she just can look and she goes to the Met Ball and looks like something else, you know, from venus or mars and she's just an inspiration to me.

Another great born another woman with a fire in her belly.

She was so good, so professional and so glamorous.

I mean look at that dress, it's a balenciaga to us.
