Step Into Christmas
Elton says: “I noticed Cara at Glastonbury final summer time, and we talked about how a lot we’d like to work collectively if the proper concept got here up. She’s hilarious to spend time with, we each have fairly a self-deprecating sense of humour. When somebody urged the concept of her enjoying me in a riff on the 1973 Step Into Christmas video, I simply thought it was the proper alternative. Thank God Cara thought the identical, as a result of it got here out nice.”
Cara added: “Elton has all the time been an idol of mine, to say his music has had a deeply profound impact on me is an understatement. To be requested by him to PLAY him on this recreation was a dream that I didn’t know I had till it occurred. Actually, I want I may fake to be Elton day by day. I hope that Elton might at some point return the favour and comply with play me in my not but developed, written, pitched or funded biopic. Fingers crossed.
