Dear Elton fans,

as previously announced, I have decided to discontinue updating eltonfan.net as of March 31, 2017... for various reasons. This archived version of the website will remain online, but it won't be updated anymore. So feel free to use it as an archive for news, tour dates & reviews, charts and a lot more.

The orginal Hercules Message Board has been been shut down in the meantime, but was replaced by a new message board hosted on another server.

Apart from the official website eltonjohn.com, most of you get their Elton news from various other sources these days, including Facebook, Instagram and other Elton (fan) sites. You might also want to consider subscribing to the excellent news service by devoted Elton fan Wayne Martin - just drop him an e-mail if you are interested.

I have been running Hercules (formerly known as Rocket Fan) for almost 30 years now, that's far more than half of my lifetime. It all started with an old-fashioned (analog) printed fanzine in 1988 before we entered the digital domain by launching eltonfan.net back in 1997. It has been a wonderful journey and I am thankful that I was allowed to experience it, but now it is time to move on and to focus on other things.

For now, I would like to thank you all for your loyalty over all those years and don't worry, I won't quit being an Elton fan, so I might see you at a concert or other kind of Elton related event in the future.

Take care,

P.S. My Elton sale is still running ...
