Joel Corry and Elton John are planning to work together on new music.
The Sacrifice singer has scored a string of hit collaborations in recent years, including Cold Heart (PNAU Remix) with Dua Lipa and the Britney Spears duet Hold Me Closer.
According to the DJ, he and Elton – who is currently on the road with his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour – are in talks to hit the studio together in 2023 to work on a brand new single.
Speaking on the BRIT Awards’ ‘The Red Carpet Treatment‘ podcast hosted by Nella Rose, he said of Elton: “His passion for music is amazing… the whole experience was great. Who knows man, next year 2023 Joel Corry and Elton John the banger might be coming…
“I know he’s going to Australia for Christmas. But he said when he gets back from Australia wants to get in the studio. So fingers crossed.”
During the chat, Joel revealed he almost missed out on the opportunity to get to know the Rocket Man legend after missing his phone call during a set at Ibiza Rocks.
“So, I’m literally DJing in the middle of Ibiza Rocks. Yeah, mid-set beats are flowing, I mean I am in the groove,” he recalled.
“My phone is next to my decks and I suddenly see a number popping up ringing that I didn’t recognise… phoning from America.
“Then by the end of my set, my tour manager came up behind me and when he wrote it on his phone, yeah, and he was like, ‘Sir Elton John is trying to call you’.
“I went, ‘Oh my God. I’ve just missed Elton John’s called me’. I was a bit wavy, do you know what I mean, had a few vodka cokes so I was like ‘shut up bruv’, I thought he was joking.
“But anyway, got back to my apartment. Sir Elton called me and we had the best time ever.”
However, it all worked out after Elton called back while he was on set for the Hold Me Closer remix video.
He added: “On set when we’re filming this video, Elton John FaceTimes me on set. So good vibes, because everyone like could see everyone’s buzzing to see him and yeah, so then after the FaceTime, I then flew back to America, because I’ll do my tour out there and I actually had a date in Vancouver in Canada and… right on the night I was DJing [in Vancouver], Elton John was having his concert in Vancouver.
“So, my management reached out and were like, let’s meet. So, I went and actually met him at his concert in his dressing room.”
