Boasting an impressive track record of over 300 million albums sold, 5 Grammy Awards, and prestigious inductions into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Elton stands as a legendary icon in the music industry. Although he bid farewell to tour after his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, recent rumors suggest that the maestro is quietly working on a new album, adding an intriguing twist to his already storied career.
Venturing into the secretive world of Elton’s studio sessions, an exclusive interview with The Sun unveiled the news of a “Top Secret” album in the making, possibly set for release later this year.
“While it’s all been shrouded in secrecy, Elton is back in the studio working on a new album. Time frames are a bit flexible, but a release date in the fourth quarter has been tentatively penciled in,” divulged an inside source. “His love for music remains unwavering, but the desire to maintain the same level of busyness has lessened.”
Despite his decision to step away from the rigors of touring, Elton‘s passion for music continues to burn brightly, with a newfound focus on spending quality time with his family during this phase of his life.
“Elton will still host his Rocket Hour radio show on Apple Music, and he remains very attuned to the pulse of the music scene. He just wants to dial back a bit and savor more time with his family, but rest assured, the new album is on the horizon,” the source added.
Expressing deep gratitude to his fans during the final leg of his tour, Elton acknowledged their pivotal role in shaping his extraordinary career.
“I’ve had the most wonderful career, beyond belief. Fifty-two years of pure joy, playing music. How lucky am I to play music? But I wouldn’t be sitting here and talking to you if it wasn’t for you,” Elton shared. Recognizing the fans’ unwavering support, he highlighted their contribution to his success.
“You bought the singles, the CDs, the albums, the cassettes. But more importantly, you bought the tickets to the shows. And you know how much I love to play live. It’s been my lifeblood to play for you guys. You’ve been absolutely magnificent. Thank you,” he graciously acknowledged.
While Elton may have taken his final bow on the stage, the anticipation of a new album provides fans with a glimmer of hope and excitement for what lies ahead.
