On Monday, November 17 at 6 pm ET, Barbara Walters will welcome legendary musician Elton John to her weekly show Barbara Live! on SIRIUS XM Radio. 

Elton will join Barbara and her co-host Bill Geddie to discuss the Broadway debut of Billy Elliot the Musical for which he wrote the music.  The musical is based on the critically acclaimed 2000 film Billy Elliot.  

In addition, Elton will share his thoughts on current events and the upcoming reprisal of his successful tour with fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Billy Joel.    

Considered one of the most successful musicians of all time, Elton John's career has spanned over three decades and has garnered him five Grammy® Awards, an Academy® Award, a Grammy Legend Award and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  He is one of the top-selling solo artists of all time, with 35 gold and 25 platinum albums, 29 consecutive Top 40 hits, and he has sold more than 250 million records worldwide.  Additionally, John was the first artist honored by the Billboard Touring Conference with its Legend o

f Live award, which recognizes those in the concert business who have made a significant and lasting impact on the industry.  He continues to tour around the world as well as perform his critically acclaimed "Red Piano" show at Caesars Palace.

Over the years Elton John has used his success and personal finances to further philanthropic causes close to his heart including the Elton John Aids Foundation which funds educational programs targeted at HIV/AIDS prevention, the elimination of discrimination against HIV/AIDS-affected individuals, and programs that provide services to individuals living or at risk for HIV/AIDS.  Since its establishment in 1992, the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) has raised over $125 million to support HIV/AIDS prevention and service programs in 55 countries around the globe. Today, EJAF is one of the world's leading nonprofit HIV/AIDS organizations.
