Sir Elton John Iconic Bob Mackie "Mozart" 1986 Album Cover and "Tour De Force" Tour Stage Worn Costume

Offered here is one of the most incredible original Bob Mackie Sir Elton John outfits to ever surface. During the 1986 “Tour De Force” Tour, Sir Elton John would frequently dress up as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in a beautiful pearl white suite, a powdered wig and even a mole on his face. This is that costume. The outfit is also featured in the “Alternative Live in Australia 1986” Live Record where Sir Elton wore the outfit on November 17th, 1986. The outfit comes from actor and musician Lee Ryan of the band Blue who is a dear friend of Sir Elton. Blue and Sir Elton did a duet cover of one of Sir Elton's iconic hit songs called "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word" which went to #1 in 35 countries around the world! A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own such a special piece of Sir Elton John history. Comes with a letter of provenance from Lee Ryan and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
