Elton John New Documentary Releases New Trailer

A brand-new documentary, Elton John: Never Too Late, is set to premiere on Disney+ on December 13. Directed by R.J. Cutler and Elton’s husband, David Furnish, the film takes a deep dive into Elton John’s extraordinary career as he gears up for his final North American concert at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium in November 2022. The documentary will revisit his early days in the music business, his struggles with addiction, and his journey to embracing his true identity.

Theater Run Scheduled

Before it arrives on Disney+ early in December, Never Too Late will have a limited theatrical release in both the U.S. and the U.K. starting November 15. Before that, the film will be screened at a special gala event at the London Film Festival in October.

First Look at the Official Trailer

The official trailer for Elton John: Never Too Late gives a glimpse into Elton’s mindset throughout his legendary career. John reflects:

“I always believe that if you have got enough ambition, you can make it anywhere.
“When I was very young, my life was all consumed by music. I just wanted to become a songwriter.”

The trailer also revisits Elton’s iconic 1975 performance at Dodger Stadium, where he made history by being the first rock artist to play at the venue since The Beatles nearly 10 years earlier.

But alongside the success, Elton faced personal challenges. “At that time, there was an emptiness within me,” he admits in the trailer.

“My soul had gone dark. I wasn’t a joy to be around. I didn’t have anything apart from my success and my drugs.”

The trailer teases his struggle to find peace, including his acceptance of his sexuality and his search for meaning beyond fame. As it closes, Elton shares a heartfelt realization:

“I’ve got to the point in my life where I have to do what is honest.”
