Elton John recently announced plans for his farewell tour, but before he says goodbye to the live stage, the UK singer's work will be treated to two new compilations.
Dubbed Revamp and Restoration, the cover albums feature some of music's biggest stars, and they're both out April 6.
Revamp is billed as a pop record, featuring renditions of classic John songs. It opens with a version of "Bennie and the Jets" by John himself with P!nk and Logic, then goes on to deliver covers courtesy of Coldplay, Alessia Cara, Ed Sheeran, Florence and the Machine, Mumford and Sons, Mary J. Blige, Q Tip and Demi Lovato, the Killers, Sam Smith, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, and even Queens of the Stone Age.
Restoration, meanwhile, boasts the who's who of the country charts with contributions from Little Big Town, Maren Morris, Don Henley and Vince Gill, Brothers Osborne, Miranda Lambert, Chris Stapleton, Lee Ann Womack, Kacey Musgraves, Rhonda Vincent and Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus (again), Dierks Bentley, Rosanne Cash and Emmylou Harris, and Willie Nelson.
"'It's always a huge compliment when an artist loves your song enough to take the time and effort to rework it," John said in a statement. "As songwriters, Bernie [Taupin] and myself are thrilled when singers we admire and respect as much as those on Revamp & Restoration choose to add their own unique twist in the process. It means that our music is still relevant and ultimately that our songs continue to reach new audiences. We're humbled and thank them all for their generosity."
