This month our guest is the acclaimed artist Andre Miripolsky.

Famed for creating THAT outfit, the piano key costume for Elton at the historic Central Park New York concert in 1980, Andre actually created no less than seven costumes for Elton’s 1980 World Tour.

You can see some of them in the gallery on eltonjohn.world and REJ.World

Andre confesses to us his three favourite Elton songs and tells us about the Elton Takes Manhattan 1980 painting he was commissioned to produce. We also announce a chance to win an enormous signed print of the masterpiece when Radio Elton John hosts a fundraiser to which you are all invited on the 45th annivesary of the 1980 concert in September. Proceeds will benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

We also introduce the Radio Elton John tribute band, Pinner, with their latest song called London Calling.
