Elton John song Idol

[c***@campbellhall.org]

Can anyone tell me who he is singing about? I wanted to think it was Elvis
until the line about
"You went from lame' suits right down to tennis shoes."

I heard it was about Marc Bolan.

Pretty sure it's about Lennon as the lines "He was tight-assed, walking on broken glass" both refer to Lennon solo songs.

the fifties shifted out of gear line and also the style of the music make me think it is about Sinatra
