How tall is Elton John

British Singer. In his heyday he would sometimes wear extravagant 3-4 inch platform shoes.

I feel so short, I never wear really short shoes. I rarely wear tennis shoes. I'm 5' 8", I hate being short. I'm sure I will wear something that's flatter. I mean, in a couple of years' time I'll probably look at a picture for me in platforms and say, "What the hell was I doing?" Those are, again, disposable.-- Rolling Stone, 1972

Everything I do is tongue in cheek and I enjoy it and that's why I enjoy the punk thing. It's wonderful. I'm five foot eight and hardly have any hair at all! Even I used to dye my eyebrows pink... and those stupid shoes I used to wear, they were monstrosities. But it was all fun.

I cornered the market in platform shoes. That has to be the worst era of fashion ever I would've thought, and I have some of the prime worst examples. The higher they went, the higher I used to get them. When I first joined the football club I was six foot two.
