Elton is shown to have dated a landlady named Arabella, but he actually dated a secretary named Linda Hannon (née Woodrow) for two years, and was engaged to her in 1969.

Less than a month before the wedding, John suddenly broke off their engagement on the advice of Long John Baldry. Elton and Taupin ended up writing the song " Someone Saved My Life Tonight" based on the failed engagement and Baldry's advice.

No, but it doesn't pretend to be. The chronology is all over the place, with the songs serving as devices to move the story on rather than appearing where history suggests they should. Think of it more of a spectacular, fantasy portrayal of Elton John's story. Elton is seen meeting John Reid at Mama Cass's house in Los Angeles, but they actually met at a Motown Records Christmas party in London in December 1970. [88] [89]
