27 yo Elton John: It would be pathic to be still on stage at age 35 and singing Rocket Man 73 yo Elton John: AND I THINK ITS GONNA BE A LONG LONG TIME...

[@livb6945]

Can't help thinking about Elton when Michael keeps talking about his family, his anchor. Exactly what Elton was missing in his life, leading to much pain for so many years. So glad he's truly happy these days!

[@handebarlas6248]

Yes I felt exactly the same. I am very happy for him too.

[@standingelton6375]

LivB, Elton is so BLESSED to have David, Zachary, & Elijah! And we are BLESSED to have ELTON!❤

[@jolenedaniel7012]

He literally just called himself pathetic........he’s 71 and still going!😂😂

[@livb6945]

That's youth for you... 😊

[@Elijah.Ashman]

76 now, wow time flies doesn't it, next reply and he'll be 80

[@gabrielabarros2036]

Its so crazy that He is singing live and his voice sounds as good as in The álbum.

How amazing his voice is....

[@lynnturman8157]

I like Elton's better.

[@weebgrinder]

Balding depressed Elton is my favorite. Also never understood the lyrics on the recorded "We All Fall in Love Sometimes". Can understand them here. Cool to hear references to his early albums. Empty Sky...

[@jrt9]

The Elton I remember.

[@handebarlas6248]

The Elton I will never forget...

It’s the same guy as today. You’re just both assholes & not the good kind

[@suzettelee338]

So he thought at the time that he would have given up his music career by 36 or 37, WOW!!

[@jaggass]

At 37 Elton was at his peak.

[@pnynx]

And he should have stopped at his peak.!

[@paulies5407]

@@jaggass 1984? You chat shit. He was at his prime in the mid to late 70's.

Anna Marcaletti, You are BLESSED to have your special day same as ELTON'S!

[@ejshelby5460]

the cresendo at the end of this song is just so damn hard to sing

[@tolvarr]

Absolutely great!!

[@europamacmillan9498]

I love it when they’re singing Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner

[@handebarlas6248]

I love it too but I am not a Londoner. I love all the show though, it simply is great!

[@whitsundaydreaming]

Let’s make it current…75 and not stopped yet. That song is on the incomparable Captain Fantastic, one of the most extraordinary albums ever recorded. I love that Watford boy so much 😊

[@newy1960]

yep my favorite elton album now my grown kids love it and all the others

[@handebarlas6248]

What a fantastic interview! So British in every way. Thank you so much for sharing. I like all the gentlemen on this show anyway, both Parkinson and the guests, Elton and Michael both of whom I have great admiration for. I should have seen this much earlier but better late than never. Cheers...

[@MrTee-hw7mp]

Michael is a very funny guy.

[@HaywardEntertainment]

stylish outfit

[@standingelton6375]

David Hayward, all of his outfits are SARTORIAL ELEGANT!

[@cinnaplid]

Love, love, love. Thanks for uploading. Superb.

[@livb6945]

Michael reminds me slightly of Maggie Smith here... The features, the way he speaks

[@handebarlas6248]

Yes I can see what you mean...

[@mariellabenavente6094]

Wowww his voice sounds so beautiful! Thanks for sharing Philip!

[@Waxadisc]

Theres more to do in life than play crocodile rock . 40 plus years later. Still doing it 😀.

[@davidralph8909]

The world is full of videos of Elton, McCartney, Tom Jones etc telling the interviewer there is no way I am doing this when I am 40 . I wonder what they think of these comments now they are beating 80 and still going?

[@BludINFAMOUS]

Michael Caine has always been a fascinating guest.

[@negralu777]

Elton John tem fãs no mundo todo e muitos não sabem ou não dominam o inglês. Sendo assim, as entrevistas e as interações com o público nos shows deveriam ser legendadas e traduzidas.

[@LisaWatsonFilm]

love michael caine haha

Hoje é meu aniversário no Brasil e ganhei esse programa de presente.

[@wagonstation3709]

I don't really know if Elton felt relaxed, but it was great to see an old interview of him. Perhaps he hated playing the first 2 songs....he stood up so quickly after. Maybe he had something on his mind... So, maybe playing those songs was below you...but relax and have fun!

[@AdrianMendoza23]

24:24 - lol

[@williamwaltonmusic]

When Parkinson told Elton that Michael Caine would be on the show, he was more than willing to make an appearance. Upon arrival, he realized there had been a grave misunderstanding😂

[@starprincess66]

What do you mean?

[@troygaspard6732]

"I don't want to be doing this when I'm 36 or 37 because I think it's really pathetic..."

[@enacid]

Which is the last song? I can't find out the name of it. Take la croqueta out of your mouth, British, and pronounce better.

[@pnynx]

He's 72 and still singing and performing contrary of what he said 😉 I love him but I think he should have stopped in his 50's

[@loke5551]

had he not had the throat surgery his voice might still be more bearable

[@SweetAeromotion]

Loke he still sounds good. If he didn’t 18 year olds like me wouldn’t be here wishing we’d been around in the Elton/Bolan times.

[@loke5551]

@@SweetAeromotion you dont need to appreciate his voice today to realize what a vocal range he used to have before he had surgery lol

[@SweetAeromotion]

Loke no, sure you don’t. But you don’t have to be a total fucking jackass. He still sounds good, boomer

Has to eat his words.........I really wish they would give up. McCartney is absurd these days and EJs going the same way.
