When did Elton John's brother die?

Answer by  patti (29325)

Elton John grew up an only child. His father later remarried and had four boys, Elton's half-brothers. The song "Daniel" was written by John's then partner, Bernie Taupin, and tells the fictional story of Daniel from the point of view of younger brother. It is not biographical.

Elton John was an only child, although he does have four half-siblings born after his parents divorced. His song "Daniel" is often misinterpreted as being about a brother who died.
