SATURDAY SPECIAL: Elton John: Saturday Night’s All Right
by Robert Diamond - Apr 2, 2011


In his forty-year-career in show business Sir Elton John has amassed more accolades, awards - Grammys, Emmys, Tonys and Golden Globes among them - and accomplishments than nearly anyone else around. His sheer, awe-inspiring, rock-star-to-the-nth audacious awesomeness is just part and parcel of the whole fabulous package that John's larger-than-life persona, on and off the stage, can command - and does, then and now. While Elton John Night this week on AMERICAN IDOL may have ran hot-and-cold, a look back at even Sir Elton's most recent successes, such as last year's Leon Russell collaboration THE UNION - who guests with John on SNL as a special musical guest tonight - and his enchanting Broadway hits THE LION KING, BILLY ELLIOT and AIDA - the former two recipients of Best Musical and the latter Best Score, respectively - show he is not stopping anytime soon (ANIMAL FARM: The Musical, based on the novel by George Orwell, is coming to a West End stage later this year!). Which brings us to tonight - SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE - and what we can hope to expect from the self-confessed king of tantrums and tiaras, live and in person in his sketch comedy debut.
