The word 'legend' is undoubtedly a term that gets bandied about a little too freely these days - but there is no question that Elton John is one of the small group of musical artists on the planet that is a bona fide legend.

In an 'acceptance' speech of-sorts, John appears in a video where he discusses his love of vinyl, including his first and most recent purchases.
