Sir Elton John has millions of fans worldwide, but some of them are dedicated as a young girl who first heard her music over 30 years ago.
In 1992, Brandy Mary Karlil was a child living in a single-wide trailer in the rural state of Washington, and for him, Elton John was everything. The young brandy collected everything about her, she could achieve her hands – records, photos, even an Elton John’s book she borrowed from a library 33 years ago, and kept (!). “Date is still here. Bulleward Park Library, May 10, 1992. All this time is approved. And they are going to come and receive it!”
Little Brandy is now music superstar brandy carlil, but struggling with a young girl of age and with her own sexuality, Elton John was a flicker of hope in a misleading world. She loved her, and she said in writing, “I Love Elton John” covered an entire page from behind. “It’s crazy,” he said. “I see it now. I can’t believe what happened in my life now, where I am now. It’s so strange. It surprises you, it just surprises you. I surprise. to do Love Elton John! ,

As a child, he never dreamed that he would actually get to meet him one day, but sometimes dreams are a fun way to come true. Now they are not only friends, but colleagues, It began a few years ago when Carlil wrote John out of blue, and asked him to play the piano on his new record. Long story short, he said yes, and they became the best friends – appearing together, performing together, even holidaying with their families.
And now, they are about to release an album that they built together, recorded in the Sunset Sound in Hollywood. This is Brandy Carlil’s eighth studio album and Elton John’s 33rd.

So, why did they decide to do an entire album together? John said, “He is someone whom I wanted to work for so long because I know how great he is. I know how his voice is, and I knew what he was able to do, and I wanted to push him more. And I wanted him to push him Me More. Therefore, I wanted to make a record that was full of energy and great songs. And it really came out brilliantly. ,
There were cameras in the studio to capture all the heights, and some climb. “I didn’t even think of him,” John said.
“Yes, I never saw one,” said Carlil.
It has been stressed several times (John believes, “I haven’t really seen the footage, but a lotta people say it is really, really moving ahead. And not all my behavior is moving so far!”, But for brandy, it was still the biggest show on Earth. “It really felt as if I was watching Mozart or, like, one of the great musicians,” he said. “The stream of consciousness through their entire body, create music in a way that I have never seen. And I was very close. I had a front-power seat.”
John called it “one of the biggest music experiences in my life”.
Elton John and Brandy Carlil performed “swing for fans”:
This is notable, the fact that John gets through the recording process. For the last one year, he has been fighting a serious eye infection that leaves him almost blind. But he says that, considered everything, he is doing all right. “Medically, I’m fit as I have ever done,” he said. “I have checkups every month. But there is a little matter of eyesight, because I am not able to see anything for about seven months. I could not read. I could not watch television or anything.
“But you know if I have come to the conclusion that if we cannot find any solution, and it is so for the rest of my life, I am fine,” he said. “I can still play the piano. I can still sing, which is a gift. My life is fantastic. It is still the biggest gift that anyone can have.”
These days, John, who turned 78 last week, is counting his blessings. But the final track on the album actually hit a nerve: “When this old world is with me,” a long-standing collaborative Burney Tupin co-written.
He became very emotional in the studio while recording it: “Okay, I started singing, and I felt that the poem was really beautiful. But then I did not know what was coming. And when I went to the chorus, I realized what is coming, and I was just broken. I want to count every moment with my children and David and my friends, that you want to count every moment. I don’t want to die. I want to live with my children. I want to be forever with David. And so, I really got it. ,
David is husband David Fernish. Both were married in 2014. They have two sons, Zacchary and Eliza.
Dad may be a global superstar, but there is no doubt where his heart is. Asked that he was the most proud, John replied, “Yes, my child. My husband. This is the case. I want my gravity,” He was a great father. ” There is nothing to do with music. ‘I care about this. ,
His new album will be released this week, and for Carlil, it is still a little difficult to believe: “Yes, it’s very strange. Is it not a fantastic? It’s fantastic. Like, it’s a wonderful thing. I hope everyone can take some hope and beauty and mysticism from this fact that this has happened. If this is a 11-year single-wide mobile house brandy carlil, it can be done.”
Both these friends know that just do not bend on each other; They push each other to new heights. His album Title track track “Hu Tavu in Angels?” But perhaps Elton John and Brandy Carlil are angels for each other.
Elton John and Brandy Carlil performed “Who believes in angels?”:
John said, “God, it was a challenge. But what is this about life. If you have no challenge on 76, never give up.
“And he gave me.”
