Elton John's entire music catalog - more than 30 albums and over 400 tracks - will soon be available for sale online.

The move is set to coincide with the singer's 60th birthday celebration and his latest release, Reuters reports. The singer says he wanted to release his catalog in digital form all at once instead of bits at a time.

"I knew that the entire catalog - not just the hits - needed care and attention to be released in this way," he said in a statement. "Now that it's happening, I'm pleased for the fans' sake."

The songs from the singer's catalog will be available for sale online starting March 26. Apple's iTunes will have exclusive distribution rights for the catalog until April 30, after which it will also be sold via other services.
