“I just got the call and I am already blabbing about,” LaChapelle told Page Six during an interview for his latest exhibition, “Happy Together” at Visu Contemporary in Miami, Fla.
John recently revealed at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center — during the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame induction of his songwriting partner Bernie Taupin — that the duo just finished their latest project.
The album “is going to surprise the s— out of you,” John said. “It’s absolutely wonderful, and it’s full of youth, and it’s full of vitality.”
Elton will still have a Rocket Hour radio show on Apple Music and his finger is very much still on the pulse; he just wants to slow down a bit and spend the time with his family but the new album is coming."
According to an interview with Elton’s longtime friend, the Who’s Pete Townshend, that was published by Clashmusic, Elton John and Brandi Carlile apparently are recording a new album together.
While no contracts have been signed, LaChapelle is excited to get down to work. ( LaChapelle also shot the photo below with Elton John in 1999.)
He’s had a long history with the “Rocket Man” crooner: They most recently worked together on the tour imagery for John’s “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” gigs from 2018 till last year.
LaChapelle — who has shot iconic images of David Bowie, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson, Spears, Pam Anderson, Kanye West and many more — first worked with John when he photographed him for a 1998 cover of Interview magazine.
