Elton John's recent behind-the-scenes footage from recording his new album "Who Believes in Angels?" showcases his tumultuous emotional state during the creative process. Collaborating with notable artists like Brandi Carlile and Andrew Watt, John recorded the album in October 2023. The clips depict John experiencing frustration and insecurity, admitting he was challenging to work with, particularly when under pressure. His collaborators express similar sentiments, commenting on the difficulty of working with John during these intense moments, emphasizing the high stakes involved in producing the new album.
I was a nightmare. The reality is, I was exhausted. And I can’t cope well when I’m exhausted. So, yes, there were times I was difficult.
I am just trying to make the song as best as it can be. You are so impatient!
Elton is prone to bouts of insecurity especially where the stakes are high. There were times when I thought, 'Why does he want to do this?'
