Elton John, Almost 78, Says Coming Brandi Carlile Album Is “The Start of My Career Mark Two” (New Video)

Sir Elton John retired, remember?

Yes that was just from touring.

Well, lucky us, he’s still busy as ever. Elton drops his single with Brandi Carlile today. It’s called “Who Believes in Angels?” You can hear it below. The single precedes their album of the same name coming April 4th.

That’s not all: the pair will play the London Palladium on March 26th, one day after the Oscar nominated superstar turns 78!

Of course, there’s more: “Never Too Late,” the title track from Elton’s documentary, is nominated for that Oscar on March 2nd. That night, he and partner David Furnish throw their annual Oscar party in West Hollywood. Chappell Roan is the special guest.

Elton says: “This record was one of the toughest I’ve ever made, but it was also one of the greatest musical experiences of my life. It has given me a place where I know I can move forward. Who Believes In Angels? feels like going into another era and I’m pushing the door open to come into the future. I have everything I’ve done behind me and it’s been brilliant, amazing. But this is the new start for me. As far as I’m concerned, this is the start of my career Mark two.”
