For Elton, the Rocketman biopic is just the latest tribute in a career full of them.Īnd nowhere has tribute been paid more often than in the world of cover songs. The farewell tour he launched last year will take him through 2020, and 2018 also saw two tribute albums featuring megawatt performers: from Lady Gaga to Ed Sheeran on the pop one, Miranda Lambert to Willie Nelson on the country one. He never left (after all, it’s hard to look away from clothes that sparkly). Unlike Queen, though, Elton John didn’t really need a mega-blockbuster to return to the public eye. Again, somewhat worse it’s done fine, but does not seem to be the smash Bohemian Rhapsody was. Also – and hopefully this is unrelated – it has fared worse at the box office. Compared to the Queen movie, critics like Rocketman better (somewhat), fact-checkers call it more accurate (somewhat), and LGBT advocates praise it for more honestly addressing the star’s sexuality (somewhat). The first big film to to emerge in the post- Bohemian Rhapsody biopic boom is Rocketman.
