ELTON JOHN is taking himself back to his Saturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting) days with a new collaboration.
He’s recorded a song with JOSH HOMME’s heavy rock band QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE for their new album.DAVE GROHL, their drummer, revealed the news when Elton appeared on a US chat show he is guest-presenting.
Elton said: “I was in Vegas and I flew back to LA and ENGELBERT HUMPERDINCK had written me a very sweet letter and asked me to sing a duet with him.
“I couldn’t say no so I went and recorded a song with him.
“Then I drove three blocks and went from Engelbert to Queens Of The Stone Age, which was a bit of a mindf***.”
Grohl added: “I remember you walking in and him being, like, ‘Have you got a ballad for me?’ and we were just like, ‘No, we do not have a ballad for you.’ ”
That’s good news.
