Reflecting on his upcoming album, the five-times Grammy award winner told the host, "I don’t think now is the right time to make an album."
Recalling the challenges that he faced while recording the album, he continued, “I was getting really wound up. I wasn’t feeling very well, I was shattered after the tour, but I couldn’t walk away from three other people that were committed to this.”
“My main thing was me stepping up to the mark and once I got the song down that I really thought was great and I got the lyrics – the lyrics were always great – I settled down,” the 78-year-old singer concluded.
Sir Elton John’s collaborated album, Who Believes In Angels?, with Brandi Carlile set for release on April 4, 2025.
