Elton John Gets A Barbie Doll!

Elton John is getting his very own Barbie doll, and while the doll won't look like the Rocket Man, it will be styled in his likeness.

The legendary singer/songwriter has teamed up with toy giant Mattel to commemorate the 45th anniversary of his legendary 1975 concerts at Dodger Stadium, which broke the record for the largest single artist concert at the time.

"Barbie is an icon in her own right, so having her pay tribute to my work and personal style is a real honour. I hope that she inspires fans everywhere to fearlessly pursue their own dreams and limitless potential."

The Elton John Barbie comes with a certificate of authenticity and retails for $50.
