Elton John Drops Jaw-Dropping New Album — “Happiest Record I’ve Ever Made”

Elton John has completed a vibrant new album, calling it “the happiest record I’ve ever made” and “so different” from his 30+ prior releases. Announced during his Glenn Gould Prize acceptance in Toronto, the LP marks his first full project since retiring from touring in 2023. Its upbeat tone reflects his post-Farewell Yellow Brick Road era—creative freedom, joy, and artistic reinvention beyond legacy.
