Sir Elton John is my Superhero because...

his music and life is an inspiration. I have always been a huge fan of Elton John's music. From "Daniel" to "Rocket Man" to "The One" his musical talent is astounding!

However what I really admire about Elton John is his compassion for people like Ryan White. He not only give his time and money but gets involved with causes and the people behind them on a personal level and that is a huge inspiration to me. Elton John is a Rock 'N Roll SuperHero!

The legendary singer and proponent for AIDS research is reprising Elton's Closet, a massive five-day public sale of clothing and accessories from his personal wardrobe, with partner David Furnish. The couple will be on hand for a special ribbon cutting ceremony at Rockefeller Center on April 10. Following the ceremony, Elton's Closet will be open to the public on the concourse level of Rockefeller Center from April 11-15. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Ryan's Story 

According to Wikipedia Ryan White's death inspired Elton John to create the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
Ryan White
Ryan White was diagnosed with AIDS at age 13 and gained international notoriety fighting for his right to attend school. In the process, he opened the hearts and minds of millions of people. He was, as Ted Koppel described him on Nightline, "an extraordinary young man; brave, tolerant, and wise beyond his years."
