Elton John: Never Too Late will premiere on Friday, December 13, on Disney+. Directed by R.J. Cutler and David Furnish, the documentary follows Elton John as he looks back on his life and the astonishing early days of his 50-year career in this emotionally charged, intimate, and uplifting full-circle journey.
As he prepares for his final concert in North America at Dodger Stadium, Elton John takes us back in time to recount the extraordinary highs and heartbreaking lows of his early years and how he overcame adversity, abuse, and addiction to become the icon he is today.
The film will feature a new original song from Elton John. Before launching on Disney+, Elton John: Never Too Late will debut with a limited theatrical run on November 15 in the U.S. and U.K.
Rocket Entertainment and This Machine Filmworks (a part of Sony Pictures Television) produced the original documentary from Disney Branded Television.
Directors Cutler and Furnish also serve as producers alongside Trevor Smith. Elise Pearlstein, Mark Blatty, Luke Lloyd Davies, Rachael Paley, Jane Cha Cutler, and John Battsek serve as executive producers.
Elton John’s final North American concert, the Emmy-winning Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium, is available to stream now on Disney+.
