The singer/songwriter/composer is the sixth best-selling recording artist of all-time and the third best-selling solo artist, having sold more than 150 million albums worldwide. He has received countless awards over the course of his career including six GRAMMY Awards, highlighted by the prestigious GRAMMY Legend Award, and has been inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame as well as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The fan favorite was recently honored by Steinway & Sons with a painted portrait that hangs in Steinway Hall in Manhattan.
