Elton John’s new album is “all done and recorded” – and it’s coming “very soon”!
It was previously reported that the music legend was working on a “top secret” record after wrapping his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour, with his friend and collaborator, Bernie Taupin, revealing Elton’s 32nd studio LP is “done”.
Speaking at ‘The Other Songs Live’ in London earlier this week, he said: “Elton and I have an album coming out very soon, but I daren’t say anything about it because I’m under strict orders to keep schtum.
“It’s all done and recorded.”
Teasing that the album will “surprise” and “excite” people, he added (via The Sun’s Bizarre column): “I think it’s quite brilliant and quite contemporary and it will certainly surprise a lot of people and excite a lot of people and hopefully be successful.”
Earlier this year, Pete Townsend let slip that Elton has recorded a new album in Los Angeles with Americana star Brandi Carlile.
He said: “Elton is so fraught with loss at not knowing what to do next. He’s just gone over to LA to make an album with Brandi Carlile. They made an album together in two weeks. He says it’s one of the best things they’ve ever done.”
