I believe the last time they worked together was really in 1970 but not sure of the exact date. However they did so well together then that Elton John would love nothing more than to put out a new CD with his friend. He has been waiting on Leon because he had some health issues and the old friends decided that the CD will come when Russell’s health allows it.
There is an unfortunate hitch though and that is that Russell has been in the hospital suffering from problems. He has had brain surgery and yet the star Elton John won’t do it alone, he is adamant about waiting and that’s exactly what he plans on doing. His comments were when Leon is ready we will do the CD and not sooner. The two friends make good music together and even though Elton is looking forward to them getting together he wants to make sure that Russell’s prognosis is good before they start doing the project.
Essentially Elton John will wait for as long as it takes but he is letting everyone know exactly what he is doing with his life long friend. You are really going to hear some of Elton’s early stages of singing but that’s what the two are striving for. Russell has a big influence on Elton John and he knows he will be good at keeping him on track and doing the right stuff.Right now he is waiting on hopefully a speedy recovery of his friend so they can be reunited in their music once again. And as stated before he will gladly wait to do the CD they have already planned to get together and do. This is essentially one recording they both could really use.
