A British gallery that turned over a photo of two naked girls to police amid child pornography concerns has closed the exhibition at the request of Elton John, who owns the collection. As previously reported, the photograph belonging to Elton was seized September 20th from the gallery after a complaint was filed with the police by the gallery’s management. The image in question, "Klara and Edda belly-dancing" (1998) is one of 149 images comprising the "Thanksgiving"... MORE

In the photo, John looks like a sad old man -- overweight, with gray hair and expressionless eyes. In the room... he is trim and upbeat. Even without the recent hair weave, which cost a reported $25,000, he looks 20 years younger than in the photo.

The Man: After shucking his terminally geeky given name, Reginald Dwight (can you blame him?), John's versatility kept him among pop's highest echelon for three generations. In fact, the singer landed a certifiable Top 40 hit for 26 years straight, a feat even Michael Jackson, the self-proclaimed King of Pop, can't boast.

March 2007 saw John celebrating his 60th birthday in more ways than one. He engaged in a joint party with artist Sam Taylor-Wood in the East End[18] and performed at Madison Square Garden for the 60th time (which is a record) to mark his 60th birthday.[19] He performed songs including Your Song, Rocket Man, Candle In the Wind and I'm Still Standing.
