Sir Elton John’s trans muse! Lea Michele’s only regret! And those Hugh Jackman rumors!
Cidny Bullens’ songs (“Jimmie, Gimme Your Love”), Cidny gamely producing the recording for us. I already knew Cidny as a singer/songwriter/guitarist who appeared on the Grease soundtrack, sang backup for Elton John, and radiated talent and style.
Well, Cidny later transitioned to male and writes about his experiences in a memoir, Transelectric: My Life as a Cosmic Rock Star.
And the forward is by Sir Elton John! In his short writeup, Elton says: “I would never have known that Cidny was so troubled with who he wanted to be—his identity.
