Elton John and Brandi Carlile recently shared “Never Too Late,” their duet from the upcoming Disney+ documentary, Elton John: Never Too Late.
The docu-film chronicling Elton’s career will stream on Disney+ beginning on December 13.
The film was co-directed by R.J. Cutler and John’s husband David Furnish.
The song was co-written by John and Carlile last summer after the former wrapped up his record-breaking Farewell Yellow Brick Road world tour.
“I found the early cut of the documentary that went on to become ‘Elton John: Never Too Late’ so moving,” said Carlile. “It was really amazing to see historic footage of Elton and the trajectory of his life. But as fantastic and as beautiful as everything was that we were all witnessing as fans, his life was also pretty lonely and difficult at times.”
She added, “And I thought that the documentary illustrated a really important sentiment, because he might not have ever found his serenity and his peace, but he did find it, and he found it later in life. And it is never too late – too late to find the love of your life, or to start a family, or to change your mind about anything.”
“When Brandi told me she was so inspired by the early cut of the documentary that she wanted us to co-write a new song for it, I was thrilled. I’ve known for a long time how great she was but still, reading her lyrics and co-writing with her on the music was deeply moving,” Elton said.
