The performer of Your Song, Rocket Man and I\u2019m Still Standing, who has been awarded a Commander of the Order of the British Empire and a knighthood, and has sold 300 million records, continues to galvanise audiences.

With an aura that spans the globe and an impressive career that spans more than 50 years, Elton John shared a little of himself at the Christie\u2019s auction.<\/strong>\u00a0And the start of the event set the tone. The first four lots, iconic pieces of the singer\u2019s eccentric style, exceeded their estimates. Among them was a pair of 1971 platform boots in silver leather adorned with the letters E and J in red leather, which sold for $94,500 against an initial estimate of between $5,000 and $10,000. A pair of Sir Winston Eyeware sunglasses, dating from 1975, sold for almost $23,000, 11 times the low estimate.<\/p>\n
