What is Elton John’s vocal range?
Elton John's vocal range is commonly cited as F2 to F5 — about 3.0 octaves, or 36 semitones, and is usually classified as tenor. Full voice is cited up to around A#4 (Bb4); everything above that comes from falsetto or head voice.
Full-throated tenor early on; after 1987 throat surgery the top went and the tone thickened. That cited span is wider than 65% of the 357 voices in this library.
