Elton John may be in the process of winding down his touring career, but the music legend’s colorful life is the subject of an upcoming film, Rocketman. This minute-long teaser offers a first tantalizing look at how star Taron Egerton’s brings a younger John to life.
Rocketman has been described as a fantasy musical — even this teaser touts that the story is “Based on a true fantasy” — so it’s less a dry re-telling of the artist’s life, and more a musically-driven dramatization of true events, jazzed up for a moviegoing audience.

“Sheeran” is such a tricky name to say.
Ed Sheeran was awarded a Global Success award at the Brits on Wednesday night. Although he wasn’t there on the night, Elton John sent in a video congratulating Sheeran on the achievement. The only snag was he mispronounced the singer’s second name.
