Elton John is recording a dance album.
The music legend has reportedly sparked a bidding war between record companies who are desperate to release his new music – which he has worked on with Australian producers P’Nau, known for their work with Empire of the Sun.
A source said: "Elton says he's writing his most exciting new stuff for years - possibly decades. Working with P'Nau has got the creative juices flowing again. They have got a load of big companies sniffing around."
The ‘Your Song’ hitmaker is not the only veteran star to take their music in a different direction.
Paul McCartney released the album ‘Electric Arguments’ under the title of his side-project The Fireman with music producer Youth.
