“There are no superlatives left to describe Elton John and his impact on music and culture — he’s simply unrivaled,” Bob Chapek, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, told the outlet at the time, noting John’s longtime relationship with the company, as he composed music for 1994’sThe Lion King. “Like a good Disney story, Elton’s music has both universal appeal and the ability to connect with audiences on a deeply personal level.'

Furnish, 59, also gave a statement to Deadline about the documentary upon its announcement, writing, “Elton and I could not think of a better collaborator than R.J. Cutler for a film that represents more than just Elton’s career — it’s his life. From the Troubadour to Dodger Stadium, we knew that R.J. would help guide Elton’s story and its many layers in a way that feels authentic and evocative. We’re ecstatic to be working together.”

Earlier this month, while appearing on the theHits Radio Breakfast show with Fleur East, John shared that he’s going to take a break once his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour wraps for good in Sweden in July 2023.

“After next year when I finish in Stockholm, I’ll go on a bit of a hiatus and figure out what I’m going to do next,” said John, who also recently announced he’ll be part of atheatre adaption of the life of Tammy Faye Messnerand her first husband, Jim Bakker.Tammy Fayewill premiere in October at the Almeida Theatre in London.

“I probably won’t release anything next year, but who knows?,” the five-time Grammy Award winner teased on the radio show. “I might do something on someone else’s record, but not on mine.”

After wrapping the US leg of his “final tour” in November, John will play shows in Australia, New Zealand and Europe.

It’s already been a busy summer for John, who released “Hold Me Closer,” a collaboration with Britney Spears, last month. The dance-pop track was an instant hit, and debuted at No. 6 on theBillboardHot 100, giving Spears her first top-10 single in nearly a decade.
