Five Revelations From Elton John’s New Documentary, ‘Never Too Late’


Apart from the accidental revelation that Elton John will appear in 'Spinal Tap 2,' here are five key moments from his new doc, 'Never Too Late.'

Anyone who hasn’t followed at least some of the ups and downs of his 50-year-plus career as they happened can easily get the gist from the 2019 musical biopic “Rocketman” or his fascinating autobiography, “Me,” or untold thousands of interviews and articles. Co-directed by his manager and husband David Furnish and filmmaker R.J. Cutler (Billie Eilish’s “The World’s a Little Blurry”), “Never Too Late” takes an intense look at the first five years of his career in the ‘70s and juxtaposes them with his recent “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour. Elton’s not a nostalgic person, so he doesn’t sit around at home and talk about, ‘Oh, yeah, when I did [the 1972 album] “Honky Château,” I was going through a really hard time.’ He’s too busy looking forward, and so to get that insight into what the artist was going through at the moment of creation, to see the way that it impacted the music as it was created, was really exciting.”
