Am nächsten Freitag erscheint das neue Album von Kate Bush. Elton ist involviert mit dem Duett "Snowed in at Wheeler Street".
Kate: "He used to be one of my greatest musical heroes. He was such an inspiration to me when I was starting to write songs. I just adored him. I suppose at that time a lot of the well-known performers and writers were quite guitar based but he could play really hot piano. And I've always loved his stuff. I've always been a fan so I kind of wrote the song with him in mind. And I'm just blown away by his performance on it." (Fundstelle: http://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/64282314.html)
Last month, Elton John played his 3000th concert (at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas). Now he's about to head to Dunedin for a concert that offers the statistically inclined musician the chance to add another entry to a long list. Shane Gilchrist asks the chart-topping, globe-trotting performer a few questions.
Q It is claimed your forthcoming Dunedin concert will be the most southern date you will have performed. However, I'm sure you've played more exotic (read strange) locations. Can you recall a few such performances?
ELTON JOHN: The Dunedin date will indeed be the southernmost concert I have performed so far. And I think the most northerly concert I have played is Trondheim in Norway, which I played in 2003, closely followed by the Faroe Islands in 2010. Probably the highest concert I have played is the top of the mountain concert in Ischgl, Austria, an open-air venue that is 2300 metres above sea level.
As well as hundreds of sports-related stadiums, I've also played food and drink-related venues such as the KFC Yum! Center and the Dunkin Donuts Center America, the Coca-Cola Dome in South Africa and the Hope Estate Winery in Australia.
I've played breathtaking historical sites such as the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza in Mexico, the Temple of Ephesus in Turkey and the Coliseum in Rome, and I'm looking forward to getting away from the English winter by playing in the sunshine in beautiful Honolulu, Hawaii, in January.
As a lifelong compiler of lists and recorder of statistics, I enjoy milestone achievements, such as my Vermont concert in July 2008 when I achieved playing at least once in all 50 states of the USA. Then in October this year I played my 3000th concert, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Now I'm trying to break the record for the number of countries played, and so later this year I'll be playing for the first time in Indonesia and Malaysia, and next year I'll be playing my first ever concerts in Peru, Costa Rica and Panama.......
Duett mit Lady Gaga??? I don't really duet with anyone,” Gaga told Alan. "My next duet I believe will be with Elton John on my next album. I played him a song and he really liked it." Of course Gaga has also sung with the likes of Beyonce, so she’s sticking strictly to the A-list then. Hier ist der komplette Artikel http://www.heatworld.com/XFactor/2011/11...itty-Brucknell/
