You obtain the singles, the CDs, the albums, the cassettes… [and] extra importantly, to procure the tickets to the reveals. You understand how a lot I like to play dwell. It’s been my lifeblood to play for you guys. You’ve been completely magnificent.”

In the meantime, John is just not carried out releasing new music simply but. In Could, his pal and co-writer Bernie Taupin revealed that John’s thirty second studio album is “all carried out and recorded”.
