Elton John has shared details of a star-studded new album.
'The Lockdown Sessions' will arrive on October 22 and comprises collaborations with a range of artists, including Miley Cyrus, Eddie Vedder, Lil Nas X, Charlie Puth, Gorillaz, Stevie Wonder, Stevie Nicks, Young Thug, and Nicki Minaj.
Having met many of the stars through his Apple Music show Rocket Hour, the 16 tracks were recorded over the last 18 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, after the legendary singer-songwriter was forced to put his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour on hold due to coronavirus restrictions. John said:
"The last thing I expected to do during lockdown was make an album. But, as the pandemic went on, one‐off projects kept cropping up. Some of the recording sessions had to be done remotely, via Zoom, which I’d obviously never done before. Some of the sessions were recorded under very stringent safety regulations: working with another artist, but separated by glass screens."
John recently shared the single Cold Heart (PNAU Remix), which features Dua Lipa, and his Lil Nas X collaboration One Of Me will also appear on Lil Nas' new album 'Montero', out on September 13.
