Elton John took to Instagram on Wednesday (Sept 1) to announce that he will be releasing an album filled with surprising collaborations with some of the biggest artistes in the music industry.

The album consisting of 16 songs is rightfully named The Lockdown Sessions as it was recorded during, well, the lockdown. John, 74, expressed that he had gone into the studio with no expectations and came up with a list of people he had desired to work with. This range from rappers such as Young Thug and Nicki Minaj – which John considers “very unusual" – to many of his personal heroes like Brandi Carlile, Eddie Vedder and Stevie Nicks.
