And even though the interview might have started early in the morning for me, I never felt like it was too long, inappropriate, or just not fun. It was truly a blast to do! Made me smile! Thanks Richard!  Adam Chester,  www.adamchester.com   Since 2005, Adam Chester has been privileged to work with Sir Elton John and his band, who fondly refer to him as the “Surrogate Elton.” Adam has the distinct honor to sit in for Elton John, basically as Elton John, at the piano, playing and singing Elton's parts for his band rehearsals so Elton doesn't have to be there. Adam has also composed, arranged and conducted choir and string parts for various live performances for Elton. Adam performed on stage at Madison Square Garden with Elton John's band during the program “Elton John: I’m Still Standing - A Grammy Salute” at Madison Square Garden, which aired on CBS in April 2018. While Elton proudly watched from the audience, Adam played piano, accompanying major artists including Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Kesha, Miranda Lambert, John Legend, Little Big Town, Chris Martin, Marren Morris, Sam Smith, and Keith Urban. Adam’s Quaranchella concerts received national and international press coverage including CBS This Morning with Gayle King, and has featured numerous guest musicians including Michael McDonald, Lisa Loeb, Davey Johnstone, Dave Koz and many others.   Follow Adam on Twitter: https://twitter.com/adamjchester
