Elton John readies two new albums
Saturday, June 26 2010

Elton John is set to release two new albums with the first being a double live CD called 'At The Verona Arena' which will be released on August 2, 2010.


At The Verona Arena is a recording of a performance in Italy last summer.

Elton has also confirmed that a brand new studio album, "The Union", is expected on October 19, 2010. Sixteen tracks are currently being mixed for the follow up to 2006's "The Captain and the Kid" and it will feature legendary guest performances from Neil Young and Brian Wilson.

Elton says, “I can’t stress enough how significant an influence Leon Russell was on the music of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. In 1970, when we first went to America and I played the Troubadour, we were obsessed by Leon’s music, and looked up to him as some kind of musical god. On the second night of the Troubadour concerts he was there in the front row, but luckily I didn’t spot him until near the end of the show, otherwise I would have been a nervous wreck.” The album’s 16 tracks are being produced by T Bone Burnett.
