Elvis Costello (born Declan Patrick MacManus, 25 August 1954) is an English singer and songwriter.[1] He was born at St Mary’s Hospital in London.[2] He was an important musician in the late 1970s punk rock and new wave music styles.[3][4] In the 1980s, he played an original style of rock and roll. Later he wrote and performed music in a number of different styles from classical to jazz.
Costello has won multiple awards in his career. These include a Grammy Award. He has twice been nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Male.[5] In 2003, Elvis Costello & the Attractions were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[6] In 2004, Rolling Stone ranked Costello number 80 on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[7]
After two earlier marriages he married jazz pianist Diana Krall in 2003.[8]
