Elton John’s glasses through the years

It’s Sir Elton John’s birthday today, and as much as we adore his music, we think it’s time to revisit our favourite aspect of the “Rocket Man” singer’s stage persona – his delightfully quirky eyewear.

From oversized frames to wild haute couture designs from the likes of Gucci, Chanel and Marc Jacobs, Sir Elton knows just which pair of outrageous specs to accessorise his onstage look. The UK icon loves them so much, he once claimed he owns 250,000 pairs!

Scroll through the gallery above to see some of his most fabulous glasses throughout the years and tell us in the comments below, have you been lucky enough to see Elton John live?
