Elton John eyes early-2027 release for a new album made with Andrew Watt and Bernie Taupin

In comments carried by BANG Showbiz via Yahoo, Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin said they have finished a new studio album, produced again by Andrew Watt, with a tentative early-2027 release. Taupin said an infection that left John with limited vision reversed their usual process, with John writing instrumental tracks first and Taupin adding words afterward.
