Elton John Dumped His Fiancée Because 'She Didn’t Really Like My Music,' Struggled with Extreme Loneliness: 'So Futile'

Elton John discusses loneliness and the woman who broke his heart by not appreciating his music in vintage interviews presented in the fifth episode of the MSNBC series 'David Frost Vs'.

And throughout his nearly six-decade career, sad songs have remained a cornerstone of his repertoire, from "Daniel" to "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" to "Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word" to "Candle in the Wind 1997," a tribute to the late Diana, Princess of Wales. The episode covers the 10 interviews John did over the course of decades with the esteemed British journalist he came to consider a good friend. (John, 78, in a current-day interview, says he looked "a bit timid" during his first sit-down with Frost but compliments his own Tommy Nutter suit.)
