After surviving the cocaine-fueled excesses of the '70s, multiple farewell tours, and more sequined outfits than any human should reasonably own, Sir Elton is still standing at 78. The EGOT-winning Rocket Man has sold over 300 million records and outlasted most of his rock contemporaries, though recent hip surgeries and infections have reminded fans that even piano-pounding legends aren't immortal. With his flamboyant legacy secured and a habit of dramatic goodbyes, he remains one of music's most watchable survivors.
