Elton John - The Lockdown Sessions

Released 22nd October 2021.

Elton John has today announced the forthcoming release of The Lockdown Sessions. An album of collaborations recorded remotely over the last 18 months The Lockdown Sessions will be released on 22nd October via EMI Records.

In March 2020 Elton was forced to pause his record breaking Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour due to the unfolding COVID pandemic. As the world began to shut down, different projects presented themselves with artists Elton had enjoyed getting to know through his Apple Music show Rocket Hour. This was the beginning of one of Elton's boldest and most interesting records to date that he has billed The Lockdown Sessions. This album saw Elton coming full circle and returning to his roots as a session musician. While it was no easy feat recording during a pandemic, a completely new way of working for Elton, he leaned into the challenge with some magnificent results.
