Elton John: Never Too Late

Matt Roush says...

Named Time Magazine’s 2024 Icon of the Year, Elton John reflects on his remarkable career and his personal highs and lows in a stirring documentary that moves full circle from his legendary 1975 Dodger Stadium concert to his farewell show there in 2022. In the 1970s, with chart-topping hits on seven #1 albums, the flamboyant singer-songwriter appeared to have it all. But as the film from R.J. Cutler and John’s husband, David Furnish, reveals, it was a hollow success marred by struggles with drugs and sexuality until he got clean and found deeper purpose with family. At 77, he’s still standing. “Never Too Late” is also the title of a new song featured in the documentary, written by John and Brandy Carlile.
