marriages and causing issues with Elton John among others.

He didn’t give up drinking until he was in his 70’s.

I like his music and have seen him a few times including with Elton John and at his MSG residency.

The show didn’t dwell on his personal issues but it most certainly mentioned them…and was probably much kinder to him than it might have been.
