Elton John thinks his career will last forever

Singing legend Sir Elton John has just released his 30th studio album and doesn’t think his career is even close to being in its twilight years. The ‘Candle in the Wind’ singer says his extensive back catalogue of songs will see him through the rest of his life. “I feel really confident about my career now. A friend once said, ‘What happens if it all ended tomorrow?’ I said, ‘It’s not going to happen.’ I’ve got a whole catalogue of songs I can rely on and I’m driven and I’m ambitious and I don’t want to stop there,” explains the 63-year-old. “Billy Joel hasn’t written a song since 1993 and is quite happy to go around singing his old hits time after time after time.” Elton adds he has reached a positive time as he now has everything he wants in life. “I just want my life to be as good as it is. I mean, I don’t want for anything. I want to remain as happy as I am in my personal life and to try and do as much as I can professionally, to do more creative things that are great.”
