“ The music has never dried up “, said Elton John during an interview with Stephen Colbert.
Elton John was the guest of Late Show to talk about his documentary, Elton John: Never Too Late. During his lengthy conversation with host Stephen Colbert, the singer said fans can expect new music.
“ You will have othersconfirmed Elton John. The source has never dried up. It can never dry up because I'm always looking to create things. It's just that I now have the space to do it at my own pace. Of course there will be new music from Elton John. »
The singer spoke about the documentary, directed by David Furnish and RJ Cutler, and explained its title: “ It's never too late to change your life. To make decisions that will make your life better “. He added that despite all his success, as depicted in the film, he was ” incredibly unhappy “. When Colbert asked him if he would have had any advice for young Elton, the singer replied: “ Don't touch the cocaine. I wasted a lot of my life doing the stupidest things, then I got sober and made amends, started my life again and it was fantastic “.
Colbert then invited Brandi Carlile to join the legend so they could talk about their shared song, “ Never Too Late ”, which was written for the film. John discussed his collaboration with Carlile, as well as his support of many young artists he admires, including Chappell Roan and the Linda Lindas. “ These young artists have so much energy, they are so good, and if I can help them in any way, I will. »
At the start of the week, the song “ Never Too Late » was selected for the Oscar preselection in the category “ Best Original Song “.
