Elton John has completed a new album with his longtime songwriting partner Bernie Taupin.
The Rocket Man hitmaker confirmed the news during Taupin’s Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Induction on Friday (November 3), more than 60 years into their collaborative relationship.
Presenting the honour, he said: “Our success story is what it is, you all know… Through the years we grew and we grew and we grew.”
“We climbed mountains that we never thought were possible to climb, and we scaled heights that we never thought were possible to scale. And throughout that time, we never ever really had an argument.”
“He was disgusted with my behaviour, yes, that’s a given. But to this day, we are still growing as a partnership,” he added, before confirming the completed work on their latest record in Los Angeles (via Rolling Stone).
Further details of the music legend’s new release – the follow-up to ‘The Lockdown Sessions’ (2021) album of collaborations – have yet to be confirmed.
