Nearly two years after Elton John completed his final North American concert at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, a new documentary showing John’s journey behind the scenes is coming to Disney+.
Titled Elton John: Never Too Late, the documentary centers on the singer and songwriter’s illustrious 50-year career in showbiz, concluding with his final North American show. The new documentary will feature an original song from John as well.
Never Too Late will arrive on Disney+ on December 13th; prior to that, it will receive a limited theatrical run on November 15th in the US and UK. Previously, Disney+ streamed the concert film Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium.
The film’s official logline reads: “Directed by R.J. Cutler and David Furnish, 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. As he prepares for his final concert in North America at Dodger Stadium, Elton takes us back in time to recount 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.”
Elton John completed his “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour in Stockholm on July 8th, 2023. While it was billed as his last concert tour ever, John has hinted at playing one-off shows, and continues to write and record music. He even joined Orville Peck recently for a duet of his song “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting,” and was honored earlier this year with the Gershwin Prize alongside his longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin.
