Dear Elton fans,

every year it seems to become more difficult to remember all the things that Elton did over the past twelve months and to sumarize the highlights: Elton performed many more "Red Piano" shows as well as a number of shows in Europe and the United States, we saw the rise and fall of "Lestat", and of course there has been a new studio album.

2006 also was the first year of Elton's and David's Civil Partnership and also marked the 18th year the Elton John Fan Club has existed.

And as always there seems to be no end to the excitement. Just on the contrary, we are only three months away from Elton's 60th birthday, tour dates for next year have already been announced, and one can be sure that Elton will be busy as always and will present some special surprises over the year(s) to come.

For us it is time again to thank you for your loyalty and support throughout the ending year. And we would like to wish you, your family and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas season and all the best for a successful New Year.

Your Hercules Team!
