To add to the fervour, members of The Rocket Club were tipped off first thing this morning about 100 signed copies of the much-sought-after release, which will be sold from 10am today on a strictly first-come-first-served basis from the Elton John Eyewear pop-up store at 59 Greek Street, Soho, London.
Diamonds, The Ultimate Greatest Hits Collection was released in 2017. It became Elton’s 42nd UK Top 40 album and has spent over 290 consecutive weeks in the UK Official Albums charts, over 180 of these in the top 20. Earlier this month it was certified four times platinum in the UK. This release celebrated 50 years of his songwriting partnership with Bernie Taupin and in November 2022 was certified as reaching one million sales in both the UK and US. It is the longest charting album of Elton’s 62-deep catalogue.
