### Anfans ak adolesans
Reginald Kenneth Dwight te pase anfans li, li fèt 25 mars 1947 nan Pinner, yon ti vil anglè nan Middlesex, nan nòdwès Lond, peyi Angletè ( Wayòm Ini ). Li te pase yon anfans nòmal, strik men mizikal. Li se pi gran pitit gason Stanley Dwight (1925-1991), yon pilòt Royal Air Force ki te goumen nan Dezyèm Gè Mondyal la, ak Sheila Eileen (née Harris, 1925-2017), yon anplwaye biwo    .

Papa l koute djaz tankou Frank Sinatra, li jwe twonpèt epi li gen yon gwo koleksyon disk. Li eritye kot papa l gou ak lanmou li pou mizik. Sepandan, li toujou pi pwòch manman l ak grann li pase papa l ki lwen e ki pa gen afeksyon, ki souvan ale an misyon  . Mizik se toujou pi gwo " rekonfò li " li te di, li pa t gen ni frè ni sè ; li pral rete konsa pandan tout lavi li. Li te montre yon talan pou pyano, ke li te aprann avèk grann li. A laj de onz an, li te genyen yon pri nan men Royal Academy of Music  .

Paran l yo te konn souvan fè kont, sa te ranfòse entrovèsyon l, li te santi l jennen poutèt li te gwo anpil ak rad demode li yo (li pral eksplike pita rad ekstravagan li yo kòm yon reyaksyon)  . Lè li te gen kenz an, paran li te divòse, manman l te remarye ak yon pent-dekoratè, Fred Farebrother, ki t ap vin yon pwen referans pou jèn ti gason an, li te enterese nan karyè mizikal li lè tigason an te fonde gwoup " Bluesology" an 1962  .

Epòk kote l t ap jwe pyano nan gwoup la, li te adopte non sèn Elton John, ki te konbine prenon saksofonis Elton Dean ak chantè Long John Baldry , « se de (2) pèsonalite ki te kite mak yo sou jèn gason an, youn pou bote li, lòt la pou koze seksyalite li te asime  »  . Pita, li te adopte ofisyèlman non fanmi sa a, li te vin pi presizeman Elton Hercules John nan eta sivil la apati 9 fevriye 1972  .

## Konfidansyalite
Elton John, yon pyonye nan epòk li a epi motive pa yon karyè k ap eksploze, te deklare tèt li biseksyèl nan dat ki te 7 octobre 1976 nan yon entèvyou li te bay jounalis Cliff Jahr pou magazin *Rolling Stone*  . Piske li te ra anpil pou yon moun fè "coming out" nan epòk sa a , te gen anpil reyaksyon omofòb, epi anpil fanatik te refize achte albòm li yo yon ti tan apre. Sitiyasyon an te amelyore nan ane 1980 yo  .

John, ki pa t ko aksepte omoseksyalite li, te marye 14 fevriye 1984 nan jou fèt Sen Valanten an, ak Renate Blauel (yon enjenyè son alman ke li te renmen e ki te travay avè l, sitou sou albòm *Too Low for Zero* ak *Breaking Hearts* ) . Koup la te divòse an 1988 . Elton John te deklare pita ke li te asime totalman epi te alèz kòm omoseksyèl. Apre yon peryòd boulvèse kote li te pèdi tèt li nan dwòg, li touche pa kouraj jèn Ryan White ki enfekte ak viris SIDA a, li te deside pran kontwòl lavi li epi, an jiyè 1990, li te sibi yon tretman dezentoksikasyon pou l te kite dwòg nan "Advocate Lutheran General Hospital". Li chante nan antèman Ryan White la .
