Elton John Quietly Finishes New Album, Release Uncertain as Icon Battles Infection

Apparently Elton has recently finished and turned in his newest album to his label.  Still no word on when it will be released.  Some interesting info in this article but its still very confusing about when this was recorded since reports at the beginning of the year said it was already completed.

Few singers match the success that followed Elton John over the decades. Embracing the title of icon, John released over 30 albums throughout his career. His last, Regimental Sgt. Zippo, released back in 2021. And although 77 years old, the singer continues to spend time in the studio, working on new music. Recent reports even suggested that John finished work on yet another album. Hoping to share his work with fans around the holidays, it appears that might not happen as John continues to suffer from an eye infection.

Elton John is releasing new music!

On Friday, the music legend, 76, took the stage at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn to induct his close friend and longtime songwriting partner, Bernie Taupin, into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

During his speech, John revealed that the duo — whose music partnership spans over 50 years — had just finished a new album. 

“We’ve just finished an album in Los Angeles, which is going to surprise the s--- out of you,” John told the audience in fan-recorded footage of the event. Referring to his swearing, he then joked, “Oops I can’t say that.”

Bernie Taupin interview in Vulture

Great interview with Bernie about his upcoming book...some interesting takeaways; 

Bernie Taupin is still standing

• He doesn't think "Island Girl" is racist...
• He thinks "Blue Moves" would be a better single album and was too depressing
  
• "Candle In The Wind" was originally about Montgomery Clift
• "I'm Still Standing" was about an ex-girlfriend of Bernie's
• The deep cuts show is still being discussed
• New music is still planned

It's a great read.
