Today, on Friday 25th March 2022, Elton John turns 75-years-old. The British singer has been in the music industry since 1967 when he was just 20-years-old. In his 50+ year career, Elton has become extremely close friends with a number of music icons. Included in this roster of famous friends was none other than John Lennon of The Beatles.

Elton and John worked together on a song in 1974 titled Whatever Gets You Thru the Night, but John didn’t completely believe in it. He even wagered Elton it would be a flop.

John told Elton that he didn’t think Whatever Gets You Thru the Night would be a big hit. So to prove himself right, he bet Elton that if it reached number one he would get on stage and perform it live with him. This was a big promise considering John had not performed in nearly ten years at that point. And, surprise surprise, Whatever Gets You Thru the Night went straight to number one in the USA.
