Rocketman: Music From The Motion Picture was released by Virgin EMI (UK) and Interscope Records (US) on CD and digital formats on 24 May 2019 and is the official soundtrack album to the 2019 biographical musical film of Elton John entitled Rocketman. The album contains 22 tracks of several hits performed by the cast of the film and a newly written track '(I'm Gonna) Love Me.
It’s December, which means it’s time to reveal this year’s playlist (aka: mix cd). Like every year, this playlist is a year in review.
Woman Up, Wannabe, and This Is Me is a shout-out to all the amazing women in my life. Thank you for being awesome just the way you are.
My friend Sam introduced me to Cowboy Bebop and the intro credits won me over. Sadly, the original Tank! by The Seatbelts isn’t available for digital purchase so I had to buy a CD and rip it. (The version on the Spotify list is a cover.)
At the beginning of the year I got to see Steve Grand in concert down in Puerto Vallarta, so he had to be on the list for sure. Pink and Norah Jones released new albums so they got a lot (and I mean a lot) of airtime. Yes, there are 4 Pink songs on the list this year — she’s just that amazing. And while Michael Buble’s new album was released in 2018, I didn’t discover it until the beginning of 2019. Free phone my music spotify.
From Pink’s 90 Days, which tears me up every time I hear it, I discovered Wrabel’s music. If you’re up for an emotional roller coaster about trans acceptance, watch his music video of The Village. Then feel a little better by telling all the conservatives assholes You Need To Calm Down. Finally, pay homage to the leader of the queer mafia himself: Elton John. His biopic Rocketman reminded me that yes, sometimes that’s really why they call it the blues.
And most importantly: I got married this year! Up’s Married Life seemed like the most perfect way to end the set.
You can listen to the songs on Spotify too (except for track 1 where you get a cover of Tank! and track 16 because Lionel Richie isn’t on Spotify). As always, the order of the songs have been carefully curated. You may not be able to listen to them in order with the Spotify free account. Spotify visualizer ios.
Sir Elton John's ex-wife is suing him for £3m over claims he broke a legal agreement not to talk about their marriage.

Renate Blauel's four-year marriage to the star was referenced in Sir Elton's 2019 memoir Me and the hit movie Rocketman, as well as an Instagram post.
Ms Blauel, a sound engineer, alleges that these broke an agreement the pair made when they divorced in 1988, and had caused her to suffer mental health problems.
In papers filed to the High Court, Ms Blauel's legal team said she had changed her name and appearance in an attempt to 'shed her identity' and keep out of the public eye.

Her claim reads: 'As a result of the above breaches, [her] right to privacy and autonomy have been shattered.
'She, and the marriage, have become the subject of widespread press scrutiny and discussion.'
She also claimed that she was upset by a passage in Sir Elton's memoir which said he did not wish to have children with her. Ms Blauel said the pair had attempted to conceive.

In response, the Tiny Dancer hitmaker's legal team denied the agreement had been breached, arguing that the details were already public knowledge.
They said the contract 'applies only to private and confidential matters'.
In the film Rocketman, the marriage takes up less than five minutes of screen time and shows the pair on their wedding day as well as sleeping in separate bedrooms.
Sir Elton's team said the wedding, which was attended by several celebrities, was widely covered at the time and was a matter of public record.

They also noted that Sir Elton's homosexuality was no longer private, and therefore the scenes would be understood by the audience as a portrayal of a gay man in a heterosexual marriage.
'The fact that the defendant is gay is now very widely known; it may be one of the most widely-known facts in the world of entertainment,' the singer's defence reads.

Ms Blauel's claim also referenced parts of Sir Elton's memoir Me, in which he wrote about his decision to propose, the couple's wedding, and references their divorce.
She alleges there were obvious breaches of their agreement and that the star knew it would impact her 'jealously guarded' privacy.

In the claim, she said she had received renewed attention which was 'destroying her privacy and causing her to suffer severe psychological consequences'.
Sir Elton's legal team said the singer was unaware of any mental health issues she had.
A source close to Sir Elton said: 'Elton is shocked and saddened by Renate's claim after 30 years of a mutually amicable and respectful divorce, especially as he has only ever praised her publicly.'
His legal team added that the pair had kept up friendly correspondence over the years and no mental illness had ever been discussed.
