Recent Rocketman Tour/Awards Season

I’m curious has anyone had recent success with Elton John this year during his final tour/promoting the Rocketman movie? I’m very curious as I might have a couple opportunities coming up and want to see if it’s really worth the effort or if it might be a complete bust. I know he has his book coming out, but I doubt a book tour will happen

I think that he only is promoting his book via social media.

What do you mean anybody here having success during his tour and promotion of movie?

Do you mean sending him items to be signed via a venue?

What I mean at any premieres, concerts, etc via in person attempts. I know he used to occasionally sign years ago for the front rows of fans during concerts, but has taken a step back over the past few years.

I was just curious if anyone had any success or tips recently about his behavior now that Rocketman has been released/ his book coming out.

Not sure if he signs at concerts nowadays.

I've heard that he was good responding to autograph requests through the mail via venue. The timing for this had to be perfect though.

Elton is basically done signing and is now more reluctant than ever. I believe security issues (he received death threats etc. in the past few years) might be one of the reasons + obviously he's now bigger than ever with the success of farewell tour, movie and now the book.

He doesn't sign anymore from stage, stopped like 2 years ago.

For the book "tour", he just signed 100 books at Book Soup in LA, which was totally unannounced, and then for 20 people who waited almost 24 hours in Toronto for opening of his pop-up store yesterday. Also value of those signed books is 1000$+ on eBay...

So obviously not a good time trying to get Sir Elton... :)

Yeah I was ironically next to Book Soup that day when he appeared, but didn’t find out until the next day- kicking myself for not paying attention to Instagram. Yeah the two events I had opportunities for u heard he just waved to fans, which I expected.

I was just curious to see if anything changed since I know they will be doing tons of “Rocetman” cross promotion for his book and to attract awards attention.

Thanks for your follow up and feedback!
