I can\u2019t say when but he\u2019s making real progress. It was important for him when he came off the road to have a little bit of a breather and a break. But he\u2019s always said he\u2019s retiring from touring, but he\u2019s not retiring from working.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not clear which new music Furnish is talking about. During the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony last year, Elton told the crowd that he and his musical partner <strong>Bernie Taupin<\/strong> had just finished an album. Then, in December, <strong>The Who<\/strong>&#8216;s<strong> Pete Townshend<\/strong> told\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clashmusic.com\/features\/pete-townsend-talks-lifehouse-the-who-and-modern-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em><strong>Clashmusic\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><strong>magazine<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that Elton had &#8220;gone over to LA to make an album with\u00a0<strong>Brandi Carlile<\/strong>&#8221; and that they&#8217;d finished it in two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Furnish also says that Elton will likely perform at his annual Oscar Viewing Party on March 10 with the special guest that he&#8217;s booked: the band <strong>Gabriels<\/strong>. &#8220;It&#8217;s hard to keep [Elton] off the stage,&#8221; says Furnish.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that Elton may not be looking forward to this year is more surgery. Earlier this year, Furnish said, he had one of his knees replaced, and he&#8217;ll have the second one done this spring.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Both his knees were bent so badly, but his left knee is now perfectly straight,&#8221; Furnish explains. &#8220;His right knee is still bent so he\u2019s going to have another surgery in April.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
