He and longtime writing partner, Bernie Taupin, are now focused on making excellent songs, John said, and he previewed their new efforts while celebrating their old favorites at a concert to benefit his charity, The Elton John Foundation.
“OK, now we've come to the scary bit for us, and maybe for you,” he joked before playing the new material.
John said his new album is a complement to his classic 1975 album, “Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy.”
“It was really an album about how we struggle with failure,” John said. “The next 36 years were about struggling with success.”
