I LOVE how Graham is so genuine and LISTENS.
He truly one of a kind host and "interviewer". The ability Graham has to make essentially every guest comfortable and at ease is unmatched. He doesn't talk over or interrupt. And I've BINGED his shows.
100 percent agree! He is my favorite host ever. There are SO many hosts who you can see in their heads they are already thinking of the next question and are not bothered with the answer to the current one. Graham reads the room. It`s more then an agenda or just a list of bulletpoints to get trough he really CONNECTS. And that makes for the BEST interviews!
Is RANDOMLY using CAPITALS more or less EFFECTIVE than misplaced quotation "MARKS"?
I've read loads of autobiographies but Graham Nortons "so" is a my favourite by far. He comes across so likable in it which is a rarity as I usually find myself really disliking celebrities after reading their books.
Kelsey Prosser excellent observations. I enjoy Graham so much.
I've BONGED his shows
I would love to hear his Freddie Mercury stories!
There’s a few in his book and they’re absolutely hilarious.
I wouldn't!
@@andrewlilley3660 Ha ha. Im with you. Twister and Wesson oil.
@@Swizzenator Sounds scrumptious
Apparently they had pet names for each other that were their drag personas, and Freddie gifted him something that Elton got after his death, and Freddie had wrote a note for him and apparently it moved Elton to tears.
Elton looks like a nice warm grandma
That's because he is a grandma.
Lmao
@@patriciakatz7866 yes but also no
@@minetwine3204 Folks are cross border in their sexuality. It fits to be called a Bubby at his age. (Yiddish for grandma)
He's actually a ice cold moron in real life
I always hated when Andy Warhol used to drop over uninvited too.
Whilst I'm doing heavy amounts of cocaine with John Lennon.
Yeah him and that camera, so obtrusive 😂
Plus I could never get him to leave, even when all the drugs were finished he’d still linger around looking gormless.
Kevin Berger j
Yeah last time he showed up he recorded me like the creep he is! Said it's for a " screen test " and it''ll be an
exploration of glamor and the gaze or whatever. I was like Andy take a snooze will ya
Never challenge a Queen to see who can throw shade - Elton clocked Rod S. hair perfectly calling it Dusty Springfield in a nightmare 😆
The library was closed hunty
I always liked Elton John. Tremendous pianist. Its so nice to hear someone who's famous speak about a fellow musician with so much warmth as he did when talking about Rod Stewart.
Get Elton to talk about Madonna,hes not so nice then
They arent talking right now!
And that clip of him reading Rod like a book! Watch the Pet Shop Boys video of "What Have I Done To Deserve This?" It features Dusty Springfield from around that same time and his comment was spot on.
I totally misread the “tremendous pianist” part. I’m such a child 🤪
martina nugent
Why am I not surprised?
"he's always got a bloody camera with him" imagine if Lennon could see today.
BarebackBarbarians FC Haha! 🤣😂 Search TH-cam for Dana Carvey doing his “Paul McCartney rings John Lennon in the Afterlife” bit. You will not be disappointed.
That’s what photographers do lol
Considering the fact he always has a camera with him, he must of been a loyal friend, because surely there would of been footage of his wild nights in Studio 54, parties and the Factory with all the biggest stars doing drugs but they were never released.
Bloody hell!
You never hear anyone say "I wish I had a camera" these days.
I danced with Elton at Oil Can Harry's in Studio City, CA back in the early '70s. He was there with Bernie just hanging out. What a great guy!
was he off his head on coke?
@@rahulkemp8347 No; I think this was before his heavy coke addiction. He was kind of low key and a bit shy actually.
wow - that's amazing. I love Elton
I’ve been there! So fun
He started doing coke heavy in the late 70s early 80s like everybody else, at the earliest ide say 1979 the early 70s he was just breaking thru and didn't get introduced to the vices of LA yet but by the 80s everybody was doing it and since he was with Lennon before he died in what 1980? Ide say that's prolly when he started heavily using it
I'm an American. We appreciate the great talent and exalted disposition of the queen of England, Elton John.
Hahahahahahaha @ Queen Of 🏴
Elton is a honest guy makes his interviews very real
He sure does! I met him while he was playing a concert in Pittsburgh years ago! Great man!!
@@leeteplitz7673 OMG! You met my Elton! I'm a 49 yrs. long fan of him! I absolutely love him! 🙏✌❤
I saw Sir Elton 4 times in concert. Him, his band, and music is incredible.
He also loves football
He’s still standing
Better than he ever did!
Looking like a true survivor...
@@MoejiiOsmanTV Feeling like a little kid 😁
More the pity.
yeemo trash picking up the pieces of my life, without you on my mind
Sir Elton is one of the biggest influences in modern music since the 70s
Wally Banter
How many Grammies have you won? So Billy Joel and Lady Gaga weren’t influenced? Stick you head back in your crack
@Wally Banter lol "Yes he is stop being mean or I'll tell Mummy"
@@dewfuss4360 i agree that he was influential but Grammys doesnt mean nothing when It comes to influence...Bowie for example was influential and had a Grammy just after he died, and so were many great artists...
I would never trust anyone with a Sir in front of their name!
Back in the 80’s I saw Elton every time he came through on tour, at least half a dozen times. Then saw him in ‘94 with Billy Joel. Amazing concert.
Wow, two icons with so many great songs providing a soundtrack to one's life. That must have been incredible.
Certainly they did a song or two together at the end?
@Kim thanks so much for all the love and care
Graham is the best talk show host and interviewer, actually listens and asks great questions without interpreting
I've seen Elton in concert twice. My God he's phenomenal!!! Wish I could see him on his current tour!
I've always had great respect for this man. He's so real and humble.
Nancy Demoss, You're 100% correct! 🙏✌❤
@@standingelton6375 I used to work security years ago. Out of all the musicians and entertainers that ever came to the arena, Elton John was probably the kindest person I met working there. I will love this man for the rest of my life 😍
ALL Elton John's fans should read his book 'ME' - it's fantastic.
Vicky08, I've read it twice since I pre- ordered it; My Eltton does'nt hold back, so honest! I love him ,& his music for 49 yrs. & counting! Eltooooooooon! 🙏✌❤
I love Elton John. My 18 yr old daughter brought me to see his farewell tour - Best Birthday Ever!
I am so jealous!
A true musical Legend.
Rod Stewart and Elton John aka Phyllis and Sharon.
I'm definitely an Elton John fan! I've seen him twice and his talent blew me away!!
I'm Still Standing was my anthem to get me through a really bad time in my life. (Thank you, Elton!!!) I used to be glued to my TV on Saturday nights. TBS played some videos and this song usually got played.❤️😍😢🤔☹️
Mr. Elton John, Thank You Sir for all the wonderful music that has pulled me through the bad times. I always use to think our time had no Mozart’s or Beethoven’s and then I thought,,,,,,,,we have Elton, I Thank God for making you and all you’ve given us!!!
I like how Graham has grown old with dignity, and not resorted to dyeing his hair all shades of fake brown. Good on him for staying true, and he looks cool for it! Respect!
@Michael Myers lol how so? Most people his age plump for awful dye jobs which he has eschewed? Why does he lack dignity?
I Love Elton's music...Its alot of emotional songs that just pull at your Heart Strings..I can relate to his child hood. Amazing Piano player..The Best !!! You Rock Elton...
Kathy Hansen, Thank you very much for your kind post. I'm a 49 years. long fan of Elton! 🙏✌❤
Honestly, many of his songs I loved, I did not know are his!
Bloody Mary! He is a GENIUS!
XYZ, Elton John & Bernie Taupin! 🙏✌❤
Can’t wait to get his best selling memoir, love Elton John. So many fabulous stories with so many different colourful individuals. Love what he’s wearing here, as always. ❤️♥️
I love Graham’s jacket!!
Right? He wins that one.
Really he's a Rocket Man!!!i'M loving your songs. Regards from Colombia!!!
I'm reading his book right now, and it is amazing.
This is such an amazing interview!
I love Elton's honesty.
Graham is a fabulous interviewer. And I love Elton’s book. It’s great dish. Lovely.
Absolutely Love Elton John
You have to admire Eltons honesty and Graham is the best.
Love that you Mentioned Freddie.
I'm sure Elton has lots and lots of cool stories and memories of celebs from the past.
Those guys knew how to play and have fun and be useful and create music,, good for them, they had good lives live
Cocaine helped a bit too
It's amazing how he came out the other side after all the drug abuse but he has which is wonderful!
I highly recommend ME by Elton John. Very personable and honest. So much respect for Sir Elton
Mr. John is a fabulous guy.
Oh, dang! I wanted this interview to go on and on! Love Elton! I spent a lot of evenings as a teen listening to the Yellow Brick Road album blasting on my 8-track. I still have the 33 LP of that album. ❤️❤️❤️
I could’ve listened for hours… ✨
Graham laughs at every story which is so refreshing
*laughs genuinely
I love elton and rod, they are both superstars and superfriends
lmao I love these stories. Elton, you are magic.
its amazing to think of all the stories out there with famous people hanging out together
I can’t wait to read his book
truly a living legend and still amazing
Honesty is so refreshing, when listening to hind sight anecdotes. To have lived, within a special classification, that was always reserved for the creatives. I love it. Why not be truthful. We all speculate the life styles and vices, just confirmation. Water under some bridges Deary.
So candid. Love them both 😍
Great stories. A true legend!
True Legend!👑
Awesome Video! Appreciate it!
The recent movie about him is fantastic.
True! I would never have imagined that I’d love the movie, and also becoming so interested about his music after watching it.
Captain Fantastic.
I love Elton John
Always loved Elton♥️♥️♥️
Rosalie Caliendo, 49 years for me! Eltoooooon! 🙏✌❤
that old video clip is a gem 💎
Indeed, and Elton is right. That hair was hideous, even for the time, Elton was simply wearing a hat.
Best line from Rod Stewart to Elton was when Elton was set to marry Renata. Came in the form of a card....
"While you're still standing, the rest of us are on the floor"...🤣🤣🤣🤣
Two of my all time favourites!
So much history in one video. 🤯
Elton is amazing...
Love Elton
Wait, Billy Joel fell asleep while playing Piano Man? In Madison Square Garden? I felt the rotation of the earth stop for a second or two there.
@@ItsaDaPope-a For sure!
😂
I saw the two of them on their Face to Face tour and Billy was plastered. I had very close seats and could see Elton fuming.
Elt, we love you.
What a brilliant interview!
he’s the best ❤️ love you elton
what a mad wonderful life Elton John had
Lmao, love how he talks about getting high with John Lennon and than I'm Still Standing starts playing!
2 Amazing humans
omg . he has lived the life!!
Elton has cleaned up and seems happier then ever:)!
So fun Elton thanks just a glimpse of your friend's makes me feel better love ya bro's.
The greatest!
Pair of old Queens
REALLY looking forward to reading Sir Elton's Autobiography!
I luv u Uncle Eltie!
Sir Elton is in - it doesn’t get better than that!
Just watche rod Stewert pror to this. Rod is a real charmer. So sweet.!!!😊
John Elton is the best.
WoW , Elton you look just fantastic !
Crap I guess I need new glasses.
Always loved EJ😎
Legend ❤🖤
Lol. 3:05. Love how casually he says that...like "we we're having tea"
Love you elton your great
Elton John is a total bro
I ADORE E.
Graham is the perfect eccentric guy to interview Elton. God love em both
Fantastic!
EJ’s voice is lower but still clear-not raspy like some 70s stars
stvp68 He has David to thank for that. Truly, having a partner who actively involves in rehabilitating has worked wonders for Elton.
But he seems to have some kind of a lisp he did not have before - a result of some dental work maybe?
his voice is lower not because of David he had surgery on this throat in i think it was in (1987) it was cause of years of drugs and everything he put into his body that he was forced to have surgery.he no longer sadly can sing Falsetto cause of that
@@rolandofgilead43 More to do with age.
@@jaggass I dunno I'm just going by what Elton himself said maybe it's a little bit of both I dunno
Te Amo Elton sos una Mega star .❤
Elton is one amazing talent and kindly human being!
Kind ? Give one example !
Thank you 🙏 for your support Sir Elton John
Thank you 🙏 for your support Graham Norton
Thank you 🙏 BBC
I read Rod Stewart's autobiography and he is hilarious and also talks a lot about the banter between him and Elton. Fun guys!
Fell asleep at the piano during Piano Man 😂😂😂😂
Yes, Billy Joel did that.
Legend
Elton John always refreshingly blunt, as was John Lennon so easy to see them off chops together. Credit to Norton for being easygoing enough for ole Reg to open up.
Delightful interview. Thank you Graham Norton. Elton John, you are highly talented and lovely sense of humour. 😉
Je n'aimais pas cette personne.
Je me suis tromper.sur lui.
Un type formidable.sans gêne.
Qui répond à tous les questions que l'on pose.
Formidable. Personne.un grand très grand bonhomme.
Merci à vous pour votre honnêteté.
Votre franchise .bravo à vous
the tagline for the movie ROCKETMAN said it all; "based on a true fantasy".
LOVE his Whitney story! ;)
Love It 💕
I want to read the book obviously
