Elton was educated at Pinner County Grammar school, he studied there till he was fifteen years old but afterwards he started focusing more on his musical ambitions and career. When his father found out that he was seriously considering music as a profession he tried to persuade John to focus on a more stable career such as banking. But John had a greater calling. Furthermore even his parents were music lovers and listened to all the latest songs of their time.
His father and mother also played a little music. This lead to Johns interest in the music industry as he had all the music records and his favorite songs at his fingertips. This inspired him to become a singer. One can also say that his parents had a part to play for his fondness towards music.

But tragedy struck his life when he was fifteen years old because his parents divorced from one another as they were always fighting and having arguments. After that his mother remarried another man who was a very affectionate and loving stepfather. Elton remembers him fondly. When he was fifteen his mother and stepfather encoraged him to play and enrolled him to play at a pub. People really appreciated his music and gave him numerous tips and Elton himself made a modest income from his singing. Afterwards he and his mates formed a band named Bluesology which toured different areas and gained recognition. Furthermore he met Ray Williams who was the manager for liberty records.
