Elton’s New YouTube Playlist: Arts & Charity

To buy one of Elton’s albums or see him in concert is to be invited to share in Elton’s love of music and performing.

But Elton puts a great deal of time and energy into other areas of his life as well.

He is a champion of and contributor to many other forms of art, as his recent exhibiton of Modernist Photography at the Tate Modern displayed, and is a tireless advocate of the Elton John AIDS Foundation (EJAF) and other not-for-profits.

We have collected over 20 examples of Elton and his associates talking about these important parts of his life in the new Elton John: Arts & Charity YouTube Playlist. In it you will find:

• A behind-the-scenes look at the EJAF, with videos detailing the charity’s beginnings, the 19th Annual Oscar Party, and other events.
• Five Billy Elliot the Musical featurettes, including the London production trailer and interviews with two generations of American “Billys” at the show’s final night on Broadway.
• Elton and Annie Lennox opening the Vrygrond Community Centre near Cape Town South Africa, which offers, “Holistic support for AIDS-affected and vulnerable children and their caregivers.”
• Elton sharing his passion for collecting and a video tour of his Modernist Photography collection in his Atlanta, GA home.
• Film director Cameron Crowe discussing filming the iconic Tiny Dancer scene in the movie, Almost Famous.
