Elton John has been in the music business a long time, and he’s offering some sage advice to his good friend Ed Sheeran.
In an interview on the George Ezra podcast, Elton says he warned Ed, “You have a heyday and you have a rest, and the heyday can never be replaced.” Elton says he luckily, “had the common sense to know I’m not going to have a number one every time straight away. I knew someone else would take over. It’s cyclical.”
Elton shares, “Ed will go through that and I’ve talked to him about it. I’ve said, ‘There’ll come a time where this won’t happen every time and you have to accept that’.”
And it seems as much as he likes Ed, Elton is a bit sick of hearing some of his music. “On the (American radio) chart, which is the middle-of-the-road chart, Ed is still number one and ‘Shape Of You’ is still in the chart,” he said. “It’s like, ‘Why?’ How many times do you want to listen to these things?”
- ONE MORE THING! In the same interview, Elton admits that he hates mobile phones and they actually are one of the reasons he doesn’t like going out anymore. He notes that in the past, “You can afford to be out of your mind and behave extraordinarily badly in public and no one would be able to take a photograph, which I did many times!” He adds, “Unfortunately that’s all changed with the advent of technology. Going out now is an effort.”
