Billboard reports that legendary Canadian singer songwriter will be one of a number of guests who’ll be featured on the album.
Sir Elton will be collaborating with fellow pianist/singer Leon Russell and adding other guest performers that will include organist Booker T Jones, guitarist Marc Ribot and drummer Jim Keltner.
The “I’m Still Standing” hitmaker’s long-time songwriting partner Bernie Taupin has also been working on the record.
A statement on Taupin official website says, "It's varied in scope and drenched in a rich tapestry of atmospherics. Don't expect to hear the old EJ/BT sound; this is organic recording unlike anything you've heard from our duo before."
A release date for the album has not been set.
Neil Young was honoured last month with a tribute at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and performed “Long May You Run” during closing ceremonies. Enjoy it below and long may the Muse be with you…
