Sir Elton John doc heading to Disney+
19 May 2022
Sir Elton John's extraordinary life and career will be documented in an upcoming Disney+ documentary.
'Goodbye Yellow Brick Road: The Final Elton John Performances and the Years that Made His Legend' will feature never-before-seen archival footage and new interviews.
R.J. Cutler, who recently helmed the Billie Eilish documentary 'Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry' for Disney, is directing, while the 'Tiny Dancer' hitmaker's husband, David Furnish, is producing.
Cutler said: “What a thrill and an honor it is that David Furnish and I get to create this intimate and unique look at one of the world’s most celebrated artists.
“As it has for so many others, Elton John’s music has had deep meaning for me for decades, and this opportunity is nothing short of a career highlight and privilege.”
Although there is no release date yet, the doc will have a theatrical release before heading to Disney+.
Bob Chapek, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, commented: “There are no superlatives left to describe Elton John and his impact on music and culture — he’s simply unrivaled.
