Elton John Says He Never Listens or Watches Videos of His Classic Songs: 'I Just Don't Like to Look at Myself'


Elton John appeared on the The Scott Mills Breakfast Show alongside Brandi Carlile, who he's teamed up with for the collaborative album, 'Who Believes in Angels?' on Friday, Feb. 7. The singer, 77, revealed why he rarely listens to his own music as he reflected on his previous work.

“ I’ve had to approve a live album that’s just coming out for Record Store Day that I did at The Rainbow in 1977 with Ray Cooper and it just astounded me how great it was.” The songwriter had to revisit footage of past performances and his classic songs while working on the 2024 documentary Elton John: Never Too Late. The music icon confessed that he couldn't remember watching footage of himself singing his 1973 song “Candle in the Wind.”
