Legendary songwriter Bernie Taupin paid a surprise visit to a Lincoln hotel and stayed in a room which had just recently been named after him
Legendary songwriter Bernie Taupin, 71, paid a surprise visit to a Lincoln hotel and visited a suite which was recently named after him. He was in the area to shoot a documentary.
Taupin - best known for co-writing many of Elton John's hit songs - stayed at The Castle Hotel in Lincoln with his brother and sister-in-law while filming an upcoming documentary about his life. They phoned The Castle Hotel in Lincoln to see if they had any rooms available ahead of their visit to the area, and struck gold because they had just opened a new suite and named it after the man himself. Saera said Taupin ordered beef ribs at the hotel, where he had photos taken with staff - including the chef - and discussed how his childhood in the area inspired many of his song lyrics.
