In celebration of Elton’s 70th birthday, famous Pop Artist Romero Britto has donated 50 signed prints of his Elton John portrait, which will be up for grabs from March 20, 2017.

The portrait presents Elton covered in an array of bright and warm colours, with a red heart on his cheek, which can be found on many of his portraits.

The portraits will be available on March 20, 2017 via ejaf.org, and in true Elton fashion, the pop legend described Romero's art as a “Fun, fabulous, rock n' roll portrait.”

“It's a great way to mark my 70th birthday and I hope people around the world can buy and enjoy it, knowing that they are also making an important contribution to our work,” he went on to say.

The original masterpiece, titled “Sir Elton”, was sold to Robert Kraft of the New England Patriots at last year’s Woodside Gallery Dinner for £130,000 - all of which was donated to the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

"Elton is a true inspiration to me, a role model in all senses of the word. He is such a kind soul and I admire all that he does,” said Britto. “I am honoured to collaborate with him. I remain a huge fan of both he and David."
