Ahead of his farewell headline gig at Glastonbury Festival this weekend, Elton John has been recognised with another honour - being named the most iconic glasses wearer of all time. The "Rocket Man" and "Your Song" hitmaker topped a poll of 2,000 Brits after wowing fans with his extravagant eyewear during his illustrious career, which has already spanned more than five decades. Funny man Alan Carr claimed the second spot with his thick black frames - and he was followed by Dennis Taylor, whose giant, half-rimmed snooker specs stunned crowds in the Crucible.
Meanwhile Black Eyed Peas rapper, and The Voice judge, Will. i. Am, also made the top five.
Former tennis pro Billie Jean King, who sported glasses on Centre Court at Wimbledon as she stormed to victory a record 20 times, also placed in the top 10. Having secured the top spot in the rankings, Specsavers has officially awarded Sir Elton the honorary title of "Specsavers Spectacle Wearer of All Time". Frame stylist for the high street audiology and optometry brand, Bianca Swan, said: "Whether it's giant glasses, feathery fits, or bejewelled blazers, Sir Elton John is sure to bring the glitz and glam this weekend as he takes the headline spot at Glastonbury Festival for the first time.
"And his performance on the Pyramid Stage will undoubtedly be a defining moment in his career. "However, we believe this recognition as the "Spectacle Wearer of All Time" could come a close second. "Whether it's his signature bright frames, the attention-grabbing size, or sparkling embellishments, Sir Elton's glasses have left an indelible mark on the minds of fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
