Thinking about death
Elton John: “Hopefully have a few more years”
Pop icon Elton John (77) is releasing his new album "Who Believes In Angels?" in April. It includes a song with the title "When This Old World Is Done With Me". He collapsed while working on it. The reason: the singer became aware of his own mortality.
"When you get into your late seventies, you think about mortality, especially when you have kids and a great husband," said John in a BBC interview.
"Just sobbed for 45 minutes"
"You think: 'I hope I have a few more years.' And that's why it really moved me and I sobbed for 45 minutes."
The British musician ('Rocket Man', 'I'm Still Standing') made it public a few months ago that he has had problems with his vision since suffering an eye infection. He can't see well at the moment, he also told the Guardian newspaper. "There have been days when I've been miserable, but then I think about how lucky I am." He has a new respect for people who have poor eyesight or are completely blind.
