Sir Elton John signs up for Netflix documentary

Sir Elton John has signed up for a special Netflix documentary.

The music legend was the subject of one of the top films of 2019 when Taron Egerton played him in the ‘Rocketman’ biopic, and it has now been confirmed he’s set to give fans an even deeper insight into his crazy life with a new documentary, which is believed to include many of the parts left out of the movie.

According to The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column, ’The Pillars of Hercules’ - which is inspired by Elton’s middle name, Hercules - will cover events set in the ‘70s, including never-before-seen backstage footage of the singer and the late Beatles legend John Lennon.

Elton’s long-time guitarist Davey Johnstone has been working on the documentary for years and is now hoping to do a deal with Netflix.

A source told the newspaper: “[The documentary features] stories within the Elton John Band which weren’t shown in the ‘Rocketman’ biopic.’ and added “Davey has Elton and his husband David Furnish’s seal of approval.”
