Sir Elton John is planning a huge holiday after finishing his farewell tour, but he’s still eager to make new music.
The 75-year-old pop star has been married to David Furnish since 2005 and is due to wrap up her ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour in July – which was supposed to last three years but ended up being extended to five due to the COVID-19 pandemic – and teased that another album is on the cards when he stops touring for good.
He is quoted by The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column as saying: ‘I’m finishing in July and then I’ll go on holiday with my family for two months and then I’ll probably think about making a record. But I haven’t’ I haven’t really thought about who I’m going to do yet. Now that I’ve stopped filming, I’ll have more time.
The ‘Crocodile Rock’ hitmaker – who has sons Zachary, 12, and Elijah, 10, with David – wrapped up the Australian leg of the tour in January and is set to return for a series of shows on home soil from 23 March before going to Europe and finally closing the whole race with a headliner at Glastonbury in June.
Just days ago, Elton – who recently released a reworked version of his ‘Tiny Dancer’ hit titled ‘Hold Me Closer’ with fellow pop legend Britney Spears – was praised for his constant “hunger” of new music.
Rina Sawayama, who was brought to Los Angeles to perform at the star’s annual Oscar viewing party on Sunday (12.03.23), said: “Elton John was a stranger who changed my life. reached out because he was a fan of my music. I’m surprised how charitable he lives his life because he’s literally the most famous musician in the whole world.
“He wants to be so in touch with what’s going on in the world, whether it’s new artists – he’s always so hungry and that’s always been inspiring.”
