Sir Elton Hercules John is an English singer, songwriter and pianist. Collaborating with lyricist Bernie Taupin since 1967 on more than 30 albums, Elton has sold over 300 million records, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. He has appeared in South Park in several cameo roles.

Background[]

Elton John first appeared in the Season One episode "An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig", where he helps Jerome "Chef" McElroy serenade Kyle's Elephant and Cartman's pot-bellied pig, Fluffy, to get them into a love-making mood.

Elton later appears in the Season 2 episode "Chef Aid", this time performing his own voice. The boys go to his mansion to sell him candy to raise money for Chef. He later signs on to play at the aid concert. Elton John performed the song "Wake Up Wendy" on Chef Aid: The South Park Album. He also appear in the accompanying mockumentary, Chef Aid: Behind the Menu, in which he talked about Chef's influence on his career.

Elton makes a cameo at Chef's funeral in the Season Ten episode "The Return of Chef". In "Tonsil Trouble", he was supposed to play for an AIDS Benefit Concert for Cartman but canceled and played for a Cancer Benefit Concert instead.

Elton appears once again in the Season 15 episode "Broadway Bro Down", alongside numerous other Broadway musical writers.

A Canadian version of Elton John called Smelly John appears in the Season 26 episode "The Worldwide Privacy Tour".

For his first appearance in "An Elephant Makes Love To A Pig", Elton John appeared in a pink shirt with a purple vest, red tie, and green shorts. He had brown hair and wore rectangular-rimmed glasses. In his next appearance in "Chef Aid", he appeared in a white suit decorated with purple stars, a pair of purple star-shaped sunglasses, and a white fluffy hat.

In "Broadway Bro Down", Elton appears dressed in a red and white jersey emblazoned with the logo of the Detroit Red Wings and wearing a pair of pink-tinted, black-rimmed sunglasses. His hair color also changed from brown to blonde and his facial features were drawn in considerably more detail.
