![]() Sir Elton mentored Ed Sheeran’s budding career and he was originally signed to the megastar’s management company Rocket Music in 2011. ![]() Sir Elton has also expressed he would like to work with the 29-year-old singer-songwriter, who is free from touring on Sunday after playing Festivalpark in Belgium on Saturday. Harry Styles (Ian West/PA)įormer One Direction star Harry Styles, known for his colourful outfits, has expressed how he looks up to “showmen” such as Sir Elton, Prince, David Bowie, Elvis and Freddie Mercury. Playing gigs, also in the 2000s and 2010s, the pair have built up a friendship together and Joel is also set to be in London in two weeks for BST Hyde Park on July 7 so might arrive in the UK early. Sir Elton and American singer Billy Joel, also a pianist, have played a series of tours titled Face To Face since 1994. They performed the song at the end of his US final tour date at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles in November last year. He said he wanted the track, which reached number three in the UK charts, to “enlighten everybody” that Spears, 41, is “one of the great pop stars of the world”.Ĭhart-topping 27-year-old singer Dua Lipa and Sir Elton released the chart-topping Cold Heart (Pnau Remix) together in August 2021. Last year, Sir Elton and Britney Spears collaborated on the hit song Hold Me Closer which was the US singer’s first return to music in six years. Here is a round-up of the possible acts, who have collaborated with the pianist and have shown their admiration for Sir Elton, that might be up for joining him on stage. ![]() Sir Elton previously said it would feature a different setlist from his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour and start with a song that he has not played in 10 years. Sales bandmates Jordan Shih and Lauren Morgan wrote and produced “Pope Is a Rockstar”.Ĭoncerning this track’s aforementioned virality, it seems that TikTokers have been misreading it. The phrase which is most commonly used on the platform, as found in the chorus, actually reads “Pope is a rockstar”. But the way TikTokers have rendered it is rather as “go little rockstar”.Īnd accordingly the way they use it has nothing to do with rape or unwilling sexual intercourse but instead is often attached to youth sports’ videos, those related to pets or what have you.Sir Elton John’s husband has revealed that four special guests will be performing alongside the megastar at Glastonbury.ĭavid Furnish spoke to Sky News about the 76-year-old singer-songwriter taking to the Pyramid Stage on Sunday and confirmed he would be joined by a star-studded line-up. The album’s release date was 20 April 2016. This was when their track “Pope Is a Rockstar” went viral via the career-altering TikTok platform.Īnd this came about over four years after the band self-released this track as part of their debut full-length, Sales LP. Sales is a band from Orlando whose discography dates back to 2013. By the looks of things they haven’t been terribly successful but did luck out, if you will, in 2021. ![]() “Pope is a Rockstar”Īnd yes, the title itself is a very powerful metaphor. Indeed anytime an artist decides to use the Pope as a symbol, especially when dealing with a topic as off-putting as sexual abuse, viewers would likely go about interpreting it different colorful ways.īut determining if Sales actually meant something beyond what has been summarily put forth above would likely require a deeper study of their artistry. And based on this piece alone, the Pope does in fact serve as a metaphor, as someone who may appear collected on the outside but internally is quite wild. And in this case that would be stereotyped as someone who has an undisciplined sexual appetite and/or who has proven less-than-desirable in terms of being a serious romantic partner in some other way.Īll in all, the event at hand wouldn’t be rape. Rather it reads more like what would be, at least from the female’s perspective, the last sexual encounter between herself and the male. And the main lyrical point which implies rape seems to be that she really doesn’t want to do it, at all.īut the male simply will not go away unless she acquiesces. So this is actually a tale, from the female’s perspective, of unwilling breakup sex, so to speak. And no, the actual Pope is not a character therein. Rather, one clever interpreter has put forth that the male figure in this narrative was previously perceived as such by the female. In other words, she was under the impression that he was a pious individual, akin to a holy man. But once given the opportunity he proved himself to be more akin to a rockstar.
