Poor old Elton had forgotten, or never knew, where Bernie Taupin got the original title. I think this was around the time the two weren’t talking, or he might have been warned.
Bernie had read “The once and future King”, TH White’s wonderful trilogy re-telling Mallory’s Arthurian legends.
“Candle in the wind” is the title of White’s third book, where the behaviour and adultery of the queen finally brings down the kingdom……..
Wooooops.  | Shouldn't that be the behaviour of the future king . . . in this particular case
