Elton John<\/strong> and his pal Brandi Carlile<\/strong> teamed up for a new song<\/a> for his new documentary, and it has finally arrived.<\/p>\n

The song, “Never Too Late<\/a>,” was written for Elton John: Never Too Late, <\/em>which captures Elton looking back on his life and career as he prepares for his final North American concert at Dodger Stadium.\u00a0 The doc gets a limited theatrical release today, Nov. 15, before hitting Disney+ on Dec. 13.<\/p>\n

The song’s video<\/a> shows archival footage, scenes from the documentary of Elton, his sons and his husband David Furnish<\/strong>, and footage of Elton and Brandi working on the song in the studio.<\/p>\n

Brandi was inspired to write the song after Elton and David screened an unfinished version of the documentary for her in the summer of 2023.\u00a0 In a statement, she says, “It was really amazing to see historic footage of Elton and the trajectory of his life. But as fantastic and as beautiful as everything was … his life was also pretty lonely and difficult at times.”<\/p>\n

She adds that seeing Elton find “serenity and peace” later in his life made her think about how “it is never too late – too late to find the love of your life, or to start a family, or to change your mind about anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement, Elton says he was “thrilled” when Brandi suggested they co-write a new song for the film. He adds, “She just perfectly captured the essence of the documentary and why I stopped touring to spend more time with my family.”<\/p>\n

He adds, “She can channel my voice in a way only Bernie [Taupin]<\/strong> has managed to do before. I know Bernie helped guide Brandi on that. The standard of her musicianship, her songwriting, her passion for what she does are sensational.”<\/p>\n

The song is credited to Elton, Bernie, Brandi and producer Andrew Watt<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
