Rocketman: Elton John and Taron Egerton Full Interview (Exclusive) 

It’s gonna be a sad sad day when Elton passes... I hope it never happens

@@MJForever1999 he'll live forever on this earth ?....doubt it

Englands Hope Duh dude I know... I’m just saying it will suck

And somehow he managed to survive. That alone is a miracle.

@@donnav6219totally

Im the 1000 like😁

Spaced out kid 1 lol 😂

This comment t made me laugh😂😂

That man's bits need space...can't cross those legs or you'd crush those grapes!

And THIS comment is precisely why I enjoy reading the youtube comments section. Winner.

Gurrrllll yup!!

😂😂😂😂 That was so hilarious. Taron is right, Elton is very naughty.

Hahahhahha i died 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Sounds exactly like something Freddie Mercury would say! Both ‘naughty boys’ but sweet and talented as hell! Glad they found such a beautiful friendship together! 🤩🎹🤩

When was that lol

Time stamp

if you pay anyone enough good money, they will always adore you...

would that be nice

taron looks at everyone that way lol

If you get a man who looks like Taron, you won the lottery.

@@ErinLaura7495 you dont know taron honey shutup

I did too, an absolut masterpiece

The bit at 6:23 when Taron says 'thankyou Elton' quietly after Elton sung him praises is so sweet.

After seeing ‘Rocketman’ I realize now that love and understanding was all Elton, and most people, ever ask for! Deep respect for Elton and Taron! 🤩😍

boom friendzoned

awww so cute😊

Hes done it for a lot of ppl... helped eminem

Keegan Patterson Yep,honestly probably the only reason em stopped using homophobic lyrics and opinions etc

@@keeganpatterson6628 yes

@@keeganpatterson6628 he seems to be a good person

Did it for Ryan Adams but didn’t work

It is good and I was glad to hear that is how everyone wanted to do it, be himself. But Elton in those days is possibly the most underrated singer. He could hit highs that only few ever had, he was amazing and Taron isn't on that level. But again, this was by design. I just wanted to say you really can't recreate Elton's voice in that era, if you could, go find your Bernie and make us some new tunes!

@@TUTruth i always thought his skills outweighed those of Billy Joel...and now Billy wants to stop touring due to not being able to hit high notes....Elton is still GOING STRONG!!

Ursula Curtin I know. Oh my gosh! I can’t wait for it to come out on video so I can watch it again. I almost think he did Elton better than Elton. Lol. He was superb.

@@Sassyglbeauty any friends of mine who haven't seen it yet are bombarded with me saying I'll go with them to see it. Brilliant

Dave Fisher and David Bowie

We still have ringo and Paul

@@user-sz9gp3ch6w that's true too

Madonna and Stevie Wonder

@@kcd7836 true, but are they legends?

So am I. Love the two of them.

The bit at 6:23 when Taron says 'thankyou Elton' quietly after Elton sung him praises is so sweet.

Kicks1981 35 seeing your parents in a miserable state hurts so much. Seeing them happy is like a breath of fresh air and gives you hope that there is such a thing as real happiness.

Elton is an amazing person.

That wasnt just being nice on Eltons part; when your parents are miserable and together, it rubs off on you as a child. Your selfesteem lowers, and you yourself feel like a failure, because you always identify with your parents up to some degree. So when you finally see them happy, you know there's happiness & self love to be found for you too... I know this from my own, and working experience. Other than that, the loyalty of a childfor its parents is deep. And Elton obviously is a loyal child. Bless his heart.

Barbara, you’re right! Such a class act (and of course an all-around phenomenal, fabulous, deep human being). To have the sincerity to tell your story where people’s imperfections and pain affected you, but also to have the class, grace, and empathy also to focus on their happiness now.... Takes someone special. He’s one of my models of he kind of human I’d like to be. If only I could also get that wardrobe!

I can’t believe that my parents are divorcing, they lived separately for years so it makes it easier for me and my siblings. I had a tough and happy childhood. My dad is like Elton’s dad, he wasn’t loved as a kid hence was very hard for him to show love to my mom and my siblings. I think he loved as much as he could but he wasn’t the warmest and caring father on this planet. Thank God my mom is the complete opposite, full of love and care. I think I came out ok because of my mom. Thnx Mom for not giving up on me ❤️ Also she’s been free of him for about 5 years and she is the happiest since then...can’t believe they are filing for divorce just now.....should have done it 5 years ago. Cause they could have been truly free of each other. I don’t know if he has anyone in his life, but whatever if he does I don’t really mind or care. As long as everyone is happy.

Ya but...he's like 70 something. Gravity rules

I was looking for I comment like this I was gonna say the same 😂😂🤣

@@isabellalovett609 It could just be because he sits behind the piano like that. I don't play, but that's my theory. :)

@@zeldalagrange3768 If you study their body language, it showed the dynamic. Taron seems to adapt a more casual and sheltered pose as he is letting Sir Elton take the lead in this interview, who adapt a more gorilla position, since this is his life plus when u r a god of music, you always take the spotlight

You don’t get to be Elton John without having massive balls.

@@davelee4716 I would run to sleep with Elton I've been wanting him for 47 years I've been loving him listening to his music for 47 years he's my boy

He looks up to him so much :')

Yesss I just came here thinking surely someone else noticed? True attention, love, and admiration right there, wholesome as all heck, makes me admire Taron

You're beautiful

@@leobaldez I agree with you my Elton he will always be beautiful I love him I've been loving him and listening to his music 47 years and he's still such a beautiful person beautiful looks beautiful singing Beautiful everything I love my Elton

when is this part again? someone please tell me

Well said and very true! 🙏🏻🎹🎶

i didnt know he was the intelligent, self aware and humble man he is

Theres a pic online that shows Elton with his Dad and 4 half brothers all smiling and look to be having a great time. He is like 23 and they are all little boys. But maybe it was just a front.

Josh The_Carpenter Congratulations to yourself too man, hope you’re still going strong in your recovery

Bro I'm with you

We're in this together :)

Congrats to you!! For having the strength to step into recovery, for doing this!! I may not know you in person, but I'm very proud of you!! Edit: of all of you!!

Congratulations to you too! Very glad to know you’re recovering!

This actor is just beginning .. he will Rock !

Hes been around, just under the radar

@@WagnerBoy55 Yep. I absolutely love him in the Kingsman movies!

yes I saw him in Eddie the eagle when no one cared about him

I didn't know he was a RADA student!

Meghan Franks You hurting me

Now wouldn't that be the greatest thing everrrr?!

There wouldn’t be this movie then I think

oh god i know!!! :)

💔

I was born that year

My mother wasn’t even born yet lmao

@@thefanofrealmadrid lol same

Such a great quote!

Thank God he is still with us!

did they put in a scene where he was in a hotel room with underage boys

You're an idiot

TX Brad Is this a reference from the movie or a genuine comment?

I just came back from watching this movie and havent stopped crying

TX Brad gosh I hate people like you

Me too,like a baby!They did a fantastic job portraying the great friendship between Elton & Bernie..Bernie put up with some shit outta him 😁

Me too. It was SOOOO good! And I am grateful that Elton is here to have his biopic done HIS way. I wish George Clinton would do the same for Parliament Funkadelic.

Wonderful interview! Kudos to all. Saw the movie on Thursday night. I was crying at the end. Everyone should see this amazing film.

It’s also a reference to the movie itself.

Funny enough, when my sister and I saw the movie with our mom, we both had the same thought, that we wanted to reach through the screen and give him a hug!

I cried at that scene in the movie too.I have got a whole lot of respect for Elton John.

Barbara Fischbach )

Tiff izona he grooms them wake up

@@cerseilannister9685 why do you gotta be a negative Nancy? Do you have nothing better to do than be rude to others or are just a rude person in general?

Tiff izona ok class this as hate speech then you blind sheeple

@@cerseilannister9685 I'm not a sheeple as you call it. I don't pay much attention to Elton John, I was commenting on what I observed in this specific video. People like you who feel the need to talk down on someone just because you see things differently is a form of bullying. So basically you're a bully.

Tiff izona I am not a bully I never even insulted you

He's a very successful musician, it would make sense for him to know more about his own industry than a random 21 year old.

1sTEfFaniE1 😩 Random or NOT...the point is that Elton (a 72 y/o senior citizen) knows more 'bout today's young up & coming artists than that of the TARGETED 21 y/o audience youth ya knob! To point out is Elton's job to take notice of the new artists 'cos it's his industry is obvious as he's not quite ready to give it up completely. Yes, Elton's retiring from touring & him transitioning himself to radio & mentoring will KEEP HIM YOUNG AT HEART. However, THIS has NOTHING to do with Rayr's point that Elton knows more 'bout upcoming artist than him, a 21 y/o youth. In fact, it's a compliment to Elton: a) for being interested in them in the first place & b) wanting to help those he can to STILL have a hand in helping those young folks in this hard-doggy industry. 😩 Why do some ppl feel they can just shit all over someone's random post that gives love/homage 🙄? 🤨 Why not like or dislike the post w/o trying to belittle them or throwing shade😐?

@@Motown-1966 I didn't say anything rude, I just stated my opinion. If you have an issue with what I said then that's a you problem. I still stand by what I said, of course someone personally involved in the music industry is going to know more about current music than someone who isn't. The people he surrounds himself are probably also involved in the music industry.

1sTEfFaniE1 😩 Which is why your initial comment came off as rude ‘cos it’s obvious that Elton’s STILL heavily involved in the music industry...duh 🙄! Your “opinion” was meant to belittle and was mean spirited. BUT the rest of us here on YT can read and take at face value 🤨 which was why I called you out on it.

@@Motown-1966 well, you're the one swearing and calling me a "knob" so maybe you should be more careful who you criticize. Bye✌️

ITA

Taron reminded me of Hermione Granger. Piping up to clarify events from Elton's life lol. It was funny about the Dodgers stadium bit though, he got the days wrong and had to just pipe down.

Im not sure Lennon quite passed away.

David Bowie!!???

Captain Jack Sparrow I’ll add that in now

Yeah yeah yeah

Yeah yeah yeah

Great idea!!!

With Tom Hiddleston as David

Ryan Tonner nope he looks nothing like David Bowie

Sushi lover what about Benedict Cumberbatch?

They should call it "Star Man"

Yeah so is Michael Jackson what if they did a collab together? back when Michael was alive.

Elton has been a massive gift to the world not just the music industry

Bruh he a gift to the human race

He is a gift for all of us

he is an earthly treasure

Watch tantrums and tiaras and you might change your mind....prick

I am loving the book right now. ☺️

@@catb3617 damn calm down ✋

@@catb3617 I loved tantrums and tiarras! I love Elton

Cindy, oh, wow, somehow I did not notice his suit but you are so right!

I gotta say, I LOVE Taron in the suit, he looks fabulous.

I love how they're always matching

Autotrope it was that moment that made me cry

I cried when he embraced his younger self 😢😢

Taron is on a Rocketman press junket, and is looking the part. As an professional entertainer, and a really good one.

I hope not as there is goin to be a number3

Other then Paul McCartney I can't think of anyone who has contributed more to music in so many different ways over a whole life time

@@lukmilbur264 Freddie Mercury ? Ow yeah ! He ded

He nothing like him

I have seen it twice in the past week.Its funny,its emotional,its gritty and its flamboyant.Amazing!

InkyPetrel yess!!! I got that, too.

InkyPetrel at least bohemian rhapsody did it well. There was also bits of Ramis voice mixed into the audio as well as Marc Martels voice

@@samanthavictoria3308 not to mention you can't compare Freddie's voice with Elton's...Freddie's was insanely unique with huge range and power. I'm sure Elton would agree. Surprised he gave that unnecessary dig.

val macclinchy yeah me too. Not at all what I would expect from him

I mean to be fair, Freddie's voice was insanely unique in terms of range, and it's basically impossible to copy, so Rami not singing is perfectly acceptable and understandable.

I'm only a year younger than you and I love Elton's music. Madman Across The Water, Tumbleweed Connection, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road are masterpieces.

👄👄😆🤗🤗🤗💖💖💖

I mean we all have our own opinion and some people don’t like the newer rather than music back in the day. But it is nice to see Sir Elton supporting new artists

You have to admit...90& of the crap out today sucks...no real writing anymore...very few with any feeling...

@@hunterriley2907 Exactly

It isn't the music that sucks, it's the industry. As always, of you want to hear good music, get away from the record shops and radios.

@@sashahoward7760 exactly.

yes he does but better looking

@@stephenfermoyle1498 No way

Paul Robinson I cried three times too!

Im crying in the interview....

Since I'm not into, or don't pay attention to, or am not (that) impressed with new or modern bands, and, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, despite NOT owning ONE Elton John CD, ( I'm more into AC/DC, Ozzy, and Judas Priest, among others), I, TOO, am looking forward to seeing this movie! By the way, did you see, the movie, Bohemian Rhapsody?

Me too ! And there are thousands of us who have loved him for years and years !

The movie was amazing, the music was great, and the transitions were phenomenal. You’re gonna love it.

AngelofAnguish YES it was one of my favorites. You just reminded me to buy the blue ray (thank you lol). Rami did such an amazing freaking job! I’m into a TON of oldies too 🖤🖤

Now we need a biopic movie about Michael Jackson!

You and me both!❤. What a time to be alive! I was made fun of by my peers cause of my taste in music...look at me now 😍✌
