The documentary, directed by RJ Cutler and Elton’s husband, David Furnish, premiered at the Royal Festival Hall as part of the London Film Festival (LFF). It offers an intimate view of Sir Elton’s life, featuring rare footage and interviews with collaborators like Bernie Taupin, Dua Lipa, and even the late John Lennon.The film also captures moments from Elton's final U.S. performance at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium during his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour, which marked the conclusion of his five-decade-long touring career. Reflecting on that experience, Elton shared: “It felt full circle—performing again at Dodger Stadium, where I played back in 1975. But this time, there’s no sadness, only joy. I’ve got family, children, a husband, friends, and sobriety. It’s a completely different life now.”"Traveling Takes So Much Out of You"
Elton has dealt with several health challenges in recent years, including knee and hip replacements, prostate cancer surgery, and a serious eye infection that left him with limited vision in one eye. Despite these setbacks, the music icon continues to engage in creative projects, though he plans to step away from the exhausting pace of touring.“I don’t have to work after this tour,” he said. “I’ll still be recording music and putting radio shows together, but traveling takes so much out of you. It’s tiring. At my age, you start to think about life and death more. I just want to be where I want to be now, enjoying the things that matter most.”"I Want to Make the Most of My Time with Family"
Elton expresses a deep desire to cherish the time he has left with his children and husband. “I’d love to see my boys grow up, get married, and have kids of their own,” he shared. “But I’m also realistic. I don’t know how much time I have left, and that’s why time together is so precious.”
The contrast between Elton’s earlier years and his current life is a major theme in the documentary. “Back then, all I had was music—no foundation, no balance. I loved the success, but it came with a cost. Now, I’ve built something solid, and that’s what the film captures so well.”Having recently concluded his final tour, Sir Elton embraces a new chapter in life with gratitude and peace. “It’s not about sadness. I’ve had an incredible journey, and now, it’s time to make the most of the present.”With hits like Your Song, Candle in the Wind, and I’m Still Standing, Sir Elton has left an indelible mark on the music industry. In 2021, he was honored as a Companion of Honour for his contributions to the arts.Elton John: Never Too Late will premiere on Disney+ on December 13.
