Don't Go Breaking My Heart

Posted by Staff on Thursday, February 9, 2023

By Karen Kier, Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU HealthWise team

In 1976, Elton John and Kiki Dee released the duet Don’t Go Breaking My Heart. The song was written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin under the pseudonyms of Ann Orson and Carte Blanche. The single was never on an original Elton John album, but appeared on the 1994 release Duets.

Elton John sang the same duet with Miss Piggy on The Muppet Show. He performed the duet again with Kiki Dee for the Live Aid concert, but has done performances with RuPaul, Minnie Mouse and the Spice Girls.

Elton John started his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour on September 8, 2018 in Allentown, Pennsylvania, but it had delays due to COVID-19 and John’s hip injury. His last U.S. concert was in Los Angeles on November 20, 2022. He will continue to tour in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe with his last concert scheduled for July 30, 2023. I was lucky enough to see his concert at Progressive Field in Cleveland.

His message of don’t go breaking my heart is timely for several reasons. February is American Heart Month with February 3rd being National Wear Red Day® to increase awareness of heart disease in women. As Valentine’s Day approaches, we should think about ways to take care of our hearts.
