Okay, so, let’s talk about that Elton John Daytona thing. I’m a huge fan of Elton, always have been. So when I saw some buzz about a documentary and a special related to him, I knew I had to see what’s going on. Plus, there was talk about his old Ferrari Daytona going up for auction, which just seemed so cool.
First off, I tried to find out when this documentary, “Elton John: Never Too Late,” was coming out. Turns out, it was supposed to hit Disney+ on December 13th. So, I marked my calendar and waited. It’s got a PG-13 rating, which makes sense with some of the topics. When the day came, I made some popcorn, got comfy on the couch, and dove in.
It’s a pretty standard documentary, to be honest. You’ve got your usual mix of old footage, interviews, some animation, and stills. Nothing groundbreaking, but it was still fun to watch. It was cool to see all these moments from his career, especially since I’ve followed him for so long. It’s interesting that his husband, David Furnish, co-directed it. I mean, it’s always a bit more personal when someone close to the subject is involved, right?
Then, there was this Disney holiday special thing. I caught wind of it and saw Elton was part of the lineup. Julianne Hough and Alfonso Ribeiro were there too, doing some Christmas tunes. It’s not really my thing, but hey, it’s the holidays, and Elton was going to be on it. I figured, why not? I watched it with the family, and it was… well, it was a holiday special. Cheesy, predictable, but kinda heartwarming in its own way.
Now, about that Ferrari. I saw an article mentioning that Elton’s old Ferrari Daytona was going to be auctioned off at Silverstone Auctions. I mean, how cool is that? A classic car owned by a legend. I looked it up, and it was true. Of course, I’m not in the market for a classic car, especially not one that probably costs a fortune. But it was fun to dream about it. I looked at the photos and imagined myself driving it, which was a nice little escape.
While I was digging around, I found some info about his Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour. I knew it was a big deal, but I didn’t realize it was the highest-grossing tour ever! Over 330 shows from 2018 to 2023, and it made like $940 million. That’s insane! I wish I could’ve gone to one of those shows, but I missed out. Still, it’s amazing to see how much he’s achieved.
