Between 1975 and 1978, Reid was the manager of British rock group Queen and Kevin Ayers. For some 25 years he was the manager of Elton John, but their relationship ended with acrimonious legal action in 2000 [1] over a leaked letter from his accountants detailing Elton's spending which was found by Benjamin Pell and published in the Daily Mirror.
Reid was known for his sometimes uncontrollable temper, which landed him in jail several times. He has gotten into many highly publicized fights, verbal and physical, with members of the press in an effort to defend clients such as Elton John.
In Australia, he is best known for being a judge on the local version of The X Factor.
Reid is openly homosexual and had a long-term relationship with Elton John.
