'The way I’ve learned about art is by buying it. And reading about it. And looking at it.' - EltonJohn
, Elton John recently inked a deal with Henry Holt & Company to publish his autobiography in 2019. Famously forward-thinking, John admitted in a statement that he’s “not prone to being a nostalgic person. … As I look back, I realize what a crazy life I have had the extreme privilege of living.” We could have told him that much, but we’re glad that the “Tiny Dancer” singer is finally willing to recount his legendary life and career on his own terms.cover story below.
JOHN: True. And I’ve also written the music for an animated movie for DreamWorks. Doing other things gives me other strings to my bow. I don’t want to do the same thing all my life—that would be much too boring. You do other things as well. You’re composing for musical theater. JOHN: Bernie’s not really interested in writing lyrics for animation movies because it can be a chore. You may have to do fifty rewrites to each song because the story can really change. But we would love to write a musical for the screen and start from scratch, not just take something that’s been on the stage and adapt it.JOHN: Early on in our working relationship, I had a crush on him.
JOHN: I like sampling; it doesn’t bother me whatsoever. Some artists get really upset about it. I just think it’s fun. No one’s ever sampled one of my records. I’m really pissed off! No one molested me, no one sampled me.TENNANT: To go back to your early heyday for a minute, there must have been great parties in the ’70s.parties, like dancing, not just staying in the back room doing coke. It was out there on the dance floor.
TENNANT: It’s too early to say whether Gianni’s death was the end of an era, but John Lennon’s death certainly felt like that, and maybe, symbolically, the beginning of the ’80s. How would you characterize your life in the ’80s?
