Elton JohnĀ today announcesĀ Revamp, slated to release on April 6. Bringing together a carefully curated selection of the worldās biggest and best artists,Ā RevampĀ sees Elton and co-writer Bernie Taupinās best loved songs reinterpreted by some of contemporary musicās most vital talents. The album spans a breathtaking array of styles, shining a light on Eltonās unparalleled influence across popular music of all genres, ranging from Hip-hop / Soul (Q-Tip, Mary J Blige) to Rock (The Killers, Queens of the Stone Age) to Pop (Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, P!nk & Logic).
āāItās always a huge compliment when an artist loves your song enough to take the time and effort to rework it,ā says Elton. āAs songwriters, Bernie and myself are thrilled when singers we admire and respect as much as those on Revamp choose to add their own unique twist in the process. It means that our music is still relevant and ultimately that our songs continue to reach new audiences. Weāre humbled and thank them all for their generosity.ā

The calibre of names contributing toĀ RevampĀ is another reminder of Eltonās enduring popularity at a typically busy and prolific time for the superstar. Last month he announced hisĀ Farewell Yellow Brick RoadĀ tour, which marks the finale of 50 years on the road. Comprising of over 300 dates across five continents over three years, the tour kicks off in September with five stops in Canada, including 2 shows in Toronto at the Air Canada Centre on September 25 & 26. The first 60 dates sold out immediately after going on general sale, confirming that the farewell tour will be some of, if notĀ the,Ā hottest gig tickets of the next three years. Full list of Canadian tour dates below, and additional tour information available atĀ eltonjohn.com/tours.
RevampĀ arrives as follow up to Eltonās ultimate greatest hits albumĀ Diamonds,Ā released in November of 2017. Coinciding with his 70thĀ birthday and the 50thĀ anniversary of his phenomenal songwriting partnership with Bernie Taupin, the album prompted a flurry of celebratory activity and was certified twice Gold in the UK, reaching the top 5 of the UK album chart upon its release.
Eltonās influence on the worlds of fashion and film also continues to burn as brightly as ever. Last yearĀ GucciĀ unveiled their Spring Summer 2018 collection designed by Alessandro Michele and inspired by Eltonās inimitable style, referencing original items taken from the style iconās archives. Elton also appeared as himself in a critically lauded, hilariously tongue-in-cheek role in the motion picture, āKingsman: The Golden Circleā, and his songs soundtrack the forthcoming āSherlock Gnomesā. Last year also saw Elton and Taupin launch āThe Cutā, a project allowing undiscovered creative talent from all over the world the chance to create the official music videos for some of their most iconic songs: āRocket Manā, āTiny Dancerā and āBennie And The Jetsā, each winning video attracting millions upon millions of Youtube views.
RevampĀ stands as yet another timely reminder of John and Taupinās influence on the next generation of global stars at a time when their music continues to fill stadiums, sell albums and influence fashion. John stands alone as a true great, whose music still garners such admiration from a truly broad range of global stars. The release ofĀ RevampĀ will also be accompanied by a Nashville influenced albumĀ Restoration, slated to release on the same date, April 6, featuring Johnās songs reinterpreted by the biggest in Country music, including Rosanne Cash, Emmylou Harris, Miley Cyrus and Willie Nelson.
