Elton John’s New Waxwork Is High as a Kite
The new figure depicts a moment from Elton John's high-flying early days, when America came calling and the artist was at the peak of his powers.
The Madame Tussauds wax museum in London pulls the curtain back on what reps describe as its most structurally ambitious figure to date – the Rocket Man suspended in the air over a baby grand piano. The Baker Street attraction is styled from Elton’s legendary 1975 Midsummer Music one-day festival at Wembley Stadium — hands on the key, bejewelled jumpsuit, flamboyant glasses, and platform-shoed feet in the air. At Madame Tussauds London, Elton’s model joins likenesses of pop and rock giants Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Amy Winehouse, Freddie Mercury and David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust.
