No matter your opinion of Elton John’s music, there are two things you must admit about the former-Reginald Kenneth Dwight: 1) Sir Elton Hercules John is an amazing name, and 2) his outfits are legendary.

The man knew how to out Muppet a Muppet.
Today, on his 66th birthday, we take a look back at some of Elton’s greatest fashion statements over the years.

In which case, as you were.
