The philanthropy and musical history of Sir Elton John
Monday, November 4 2013

Sir Elton John has explained to Andrew Marr why he paid for a classical pipe organ to be installed at the Royal Academy of Music.

Before becoming a famous rock-and-roll star, Elton trained on Saturday mornings at the Academy as a classical organist aged 11. With the recent release of his album, "The Diving Board," Elton spoke of his rise from a struggling pop musician to a multi-million-selling stadium filler, gay icon and family man.
