It’s taken me 10 years since to decide to let some ephemera and memorabilia move on to better homes. Forty years, and that circularity, seemed like a good moment to stop. “My last, pretty much, was putting together the book for Elton’s Million Dollar Piano residency in Vegas in 2012. Queen are so popular this could sell to someone from anywhere in the world, particularly America where there are lots of Queen collectors.”Ĭommenting on his distinguished career, David Costa said: “My first design experience was sticking down typesetting for Elton John’s Don’t Shoot Me, I’m Only The Piano Player in 1972.
