Elton John reportedly has a new “surprise” album that’s just weeks away from release. The musician’s co-writer Bernie Taupin says the singer’s 32nd studio album is “done.” Taupin told reporters, “Elton and I have an album coming out very soon, but I daren’t say anything about it because I’m under strict orders to keep schtum. It’s all done and recorded.”

Taupin hinted that the album will “surprise” and “excite” people, adding: “I think it’s quite brilliant and quite contemporary and it will certainly surprise a lot of people and excite a lot of people and hopefully be successful.” Sir Elton finished up his final ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ show in July last year in Stockholm, Sweden.
