Charlie Morgan : Drums

Charlie Morgan was invited to join EJ's band for a live aid concert in 1985. He stayed throughout '86 and then left the band. He returned in 1992.

There are differing opinions about how he fit into the EJ band. He's acknowledged as a great drummer but whether his style suited Eltons music is a matter of taste.

Either way, there's no doubt that he is a good, experienced and steady drummer. Some musicians just have Elton's music in their bones -- like Nigel Olsson ( drummer ). But you can say that Nigel has also had the better odds with him, because of his early days in the band.
