Sir Elton John struggled with being gay in the early years of his career and dealt with drug and alcohol addiction, but he has since married and started a family. He began developing his flamboyant style in the 1970s and has sold over 100 million albums throughout his decades-long career, marrying his husband in England shortly after same-sex marriage was legalized there in a reception that cost over $1 million.
