Elton John is finally getting the recognition he deserves, after recent movie on his life he will open up about his struggles with addiction in a BBC One documentary, in which he will be interviewed by Graham Norton.
BBC Studios is making the special, titled Elton John: Uncensored which was recorded in the south of France in August. The evergreen artist will reflect on his career and performances, as well as talk about addiction and how fatherhood has changed his life.
The documentary is timed to connect with the rock star’s Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour and the release of his autobiography, Me.
Graham Norton said: “Like the rest of the nation I’m a massive fan of Sir Elton John’s music, but to sit down with him in his home to ask him about his life, career and family was a huge privilege. Funny, frank and fearless, I can’t wait for people to hear him tell his story.”
Elton John added: “The past two years have felt truly monumental for me, and with the release of Rocketman, the Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour and my autobiography coming up, it felt like the perfect opportunity to reflect on it all with Graham. I’ve always enjoyed our catch-ups and this felt like the best yet.”
Elton John: Uncensored is executive produced by Suzy Lamb and Mel Balac, while Gerard Williams is the producer.
Release date has not been disclosed yet.
