Elton John is retired from touring, but he’s not done making new music.
While inducting his musical partner Bernie Taupin into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Friday, John revealed that they’d recently completed a brand-new LP.
“We’ve just finished an album in Los Angeles, which is going to surprise the s**t out of you, oh I can’t swear!” He said, “And it’s absolutely wonderful.”
“It’s full of youth and it’s full of vitality, and it’s a wonderful place to be after we’ve been together for 56 years,” he concluded.
The album comes after Elton John finished his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour in Stockholm on July 8, 2023.
Reflecting on his career, John said he’s ready for “a little bit of freedom” after spending so much time away from his husband and their sons and said, “Touring is exhausting for me now, and it takes me away from my family and my children.”
However, the beloved performer isn’t quitting the stage entirely as he said, “There maybe the odd show.”
As it turns out, there will be more than “the odd show” and luckily enough for fans, there will be brand new music.
