Elton John Surprises Guests At “Elton John: Never Too Late” Documentary US Premiere
Disney held a special premiere event at the New York Film Festival on Tuesday evening for the upcoming Disney+ Original documentary, “Elton John: Never Too Late”.
The screening was introduced by directors R.J. Cutler and David Furnish to a packed house. Following the final credits, Elton John surprised the audience with a performance of “Tiny Dancer.”
The documentary follows Elton John as he looks back on his life and the astonishing early days of his 50-year career in this emotionally charged, intimate and uplifting full-circle journey. The film features never-before-seen footage, including a look into Elton’s handwritten diaries, the audio tapes from the landmark Rolling Stone interview, and John Lennon joining him on stage for three songs after his Thanksgiving 1974 Madison Square Garden show. As he prepares for his final concert in North America at Dodger Stadium, Elton takes us back in time and recounts the extraordinary highs and heartbreaking lows of his early years and how he overcame adversity, abuse and addiction to become the icon he is today. The film will feature a new original song from Elton John.
