Elton has always grasped that at big mass appeal gigs like this you play the hits. That’s what people want. Other artists could learn a lot from that. On Lewis Capaldi, I thought that reaction was amazing, and shows how people’s awareness and acceptance of others who are different is a world away from say 20 years ago despite what some media were pushing. I mean, think of the reaction Daphne and Celeste got for (checks notes) being a female pop act at the Reading Festival....
Yeah, I think I agree with that. I'm very different to, say, twenty years ago. Still as cynical, I guess (or at least simmering with something), it just faces in other directions.
