John: Comedian in New York

About John

John Reid is a Scottish music manager whose career is closely tied to the machinery behind arena-scale pop and rock. He is widely known for guiding Elton John during a pivotal period and for later overseeing management for Queen. Working largely out of the spotlight, he helped shape touring, deal-making, and long-range planning as these acts moved through major markets such as New York City’s Madison Square Garden. His imprint reads as pragmatic and structural, favoring control and continuity over spectacle.
