DREAM TEAM Bernie & Elton: We’re still standing!
It’s one of the longest lasting relationships in the music industry. Sir Elton John and Bernie Taupin have been a team for an astounding 52 years, with Elton describing the bond with his songwriting partner as “the most important relationship of my life”.
In fact, he says he wouldn’t have had the career he’s had if it wasn’t for lyricist Bernie, and when the pair recently won a Golden Globe for I’m Gonna Love Me Again from the movie Rocketman, a tearful Elton said it was “one of the most emotional moments in my life”.
Astonishingly, it’s the first time the and – have won an award together. It was also the first opportunity for Bernie to stand onstage alongside the five-time Grammy winner to accept an award.
