Elton John Announces 'Revamp' And 'Restoration' Albums Featuring Ed Sheeran, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus
Thursday, 15 March 2018
Written by Laura Johnson
Elton John will put out two new records next month, sort of.
'Revamp' will see the legendary piano man and his co-writer Bernie Taupin’s favourite songs reworked by an impressive list of artists, including Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, P!nk, Florence + The Machine, Mary J Blige, Miley Cyrus, Queens of the Stone Age, Lady Gaga, Alessia Cara, the Killers, Mumford & Sons, Sam Smith, Q-Tip and Demi Lovato.
The record will arrive on April 6 through Virgin EMI. Speaking about it, he said:
“It's always a huge compliment when an artist loves your song enough to take the time and effort to rework it. As songwriters, Bernie and myself are thrilled when singers we admire and respect as much as those on Revamp choose to add their own unique twist in the process. It means that our music is still relevant and ultimately that our songs continue to reach new audiences. We're humbled and thank them all for their generosity.”
