Inside Elton's World

2005

Elton John talks to David Frost. On his row with photographers at Taipei airport, he says: “Maybe I should have shut up.” About a recent recording, he says: “I sing really well on it.” On his upcoming musical version of Billy Elliot: “It’s a heart-warming story and I think the music enhances it.” On his show in Las Vegas: “There’s a lot of humour. There’s a lot of deep thought in it.” And when he dies, he would like to be remembered by his friends as loyal, loving, compassionate, caring and kind. As he says at the start of the interview: “It’s very hard to shut up.”
