“My knee is awful to walk on and I’ve been having shots.”
She had known him as plain old Reg Dwight and supported the aspiring rock star before he scored his first hit.
And while Elton, 73, is now a global superstar, Linda lives a low-key life as a doctor’s office manager in Dallas, Texas.Linda, 76, was in agony in recent months as she needs a knee replacement but was unable to have the operation because she could not afford to take five weeks off work to recuperate.
Her hours at the surgery had been cut because of the Covid-19 pandemic and unpaid leave was not an option.My knee is awful to walk on and I’ve been having shots. I thought of Reg and whether he could help. It was a long shot. I sent a couple of emails to his management and put in a couple of details only Reg might remember, such as the time we were driving up the A1 to Bernie’s parents for lunch and we had a car accident. I had my arm in a sling for a while and only he would know that.
Despite the way things ended, Linda still remembers the good times as Elton and Bernie chased their dreams. We used to go to the recording studio at night and listen to him rehearse. It was a very nice, loving relationship.
