Elton John and Billy Joel may record together before tour
Wednesday, December 17 2008 |
Elton John is looking to whip up a little something special for his upcoming "Face 2 Face" tour with fellow '70s piano man Billy Joel to make it more than just a greatest-hits outing.
Returning to the concert trail in March 2009 for the first time in six years, Elton and Billy want to inject some new music into the mix. "We're thinking about recording three songs together," Elton told Pop & Hiss on December 16, 2008.
"Definitely not our own songs, or oldies, but we're interested in getting some people to write new songs for us. I've got Raphael Saadiq and Nile Rodgers working on something, so we're booking some time to go into the studio and record."
On their previous joint road trips in 1995, 2001-2002 and 2003, the "Face 2 Face" tour turned into one of the top 10 grossing tours of those years. The 2009 tour is scheduled to open March 2, 2009 in Jacksonville, FL. See Elton John Tour News for more dates.
