| | The Elton John and Britney Spears duet is here | | August 26th, 2022 under Britney Spears, Elton John. [ Comments: none ] | For the first time since 2016, Britney Spears has recorded a new song. Well, technically, it is an older one because it is a duet with Elton John for his reimagination of his 1971 classic Tiny Dancer.

Thank you, Elton, for having me! I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to work with you and your legendary mind.” So tiny dancers of all sizes of the world sit back and listen to two legends reinterpret a classic.
| | Elton John’s latest sad song is that he got COVID-19 | | January 25th, 2022 under Coronavirus, Elton John. [ Comments: none ] | Elton John hasn’t even been back on the road for a week after a nearly two-year hiatus, and he is already postponing some of his upcoming dates. “Hi everyone, wanted to send a message to let you know that I have contracted COVID and
so have had to reschedule my shows in Dallas. If you have tickets, you’ll be contacted with the new dates really soon. It’s always a massive disappointment to move shows and I’m so sorry to anyone who’s been inconvenienced by this but I want to keep myself and my team safe,” he wrote. “Fortunately, I’m fully vaccinated and boosted and my symptoms are mild so I’m fully expecting to be able to make the Arkansas shows this week.” At this point, I think he should just give up on his farewell tour that has been plagued by more than just a plague. Four years and one day ago, John announced that he was going to do a 3-year, 300+-date final tour. He began hitting that road later that year, and he had no issues until February 2020. That was when he was diagnosed with walking pneumonia. He went back on the road for a month and then came COVID-19. He was able to take a break from the road but suffered a hip injury during the holiday. Therefore, he had to get hip replacement surgery at the end of 2021. Now, he is back at it, and he got the coronavirus. It seems like it is a good time for the 74-year-old to call his live performance days behind him.
