At the rate he earns tributes, it won’t be long before the next batch lands. So this month we count down the thirty best Elton John covers ever.īest so far, at least. Though artists inevitably gravitate towards the huge hits, John’s songbook boasts a long tail, with even some relative deep cuts generating classic covers. Hell, Three Dog Night released their cover of that second album’s “Your Song” a month before John’s original even came out. From his second, self-titled album onward (no one covers songs off his 1969 debut), Elton’s songs have been covered constantly.

For Elton, the Rocketman biopic is just the latest tribute in a career full of them.Īnd nowhere has tribute been paid more often than in the world of cover songs. The farewell tour he launched last year will take him through 2020, and 2018 also saw two tribute albums featuring megawatt performers: from Lady Gaga to Ed Sheeran on the pop one, Miranda Lambert to Willie Nelson on the country one.
He never left (after all, it’s hard to look away from clothes that sparkly).
Unlike Queen, though, Elton John didn’t really need a mega-blockbuster to return to the public eye. Again, somewhat worse it’s done fine, but does not seem to be the smash Bohemian Rhapsody was. Revamp: Reimagining the Songs of Elton John & Bernie Taupin and Restoration: Reimagining the Songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin are two tribute albums to English performer Elton John and his frequent songwriting partner Bernie Taupin. Also – and hopefully this is unrelated – it has fared worse at the box office. Compared to the Queen movie, critics like Rocketman better (somewhat), fact-checkers call it more accurate (somewhat), and LGBT advocates praise it for more honestly addressing the star’s sexuality (somewhat).
The first big film to to emerge in the post- Bohemian Rhapsody biopic boom is Rocketman.
