“And so I’m writing the verse, like, ‘Oh, this is really pretty’. And then I get to the chorus and of course it’s about my death.”;

He added on the Smartless podcast: “And when you get to my age, which is near 100, you think, ‘How much time have I got left?’

“And you’ve got children, you’ve got a wonderful ­husband . . . you just think about mortality.

“And so when I got to the chorus, I just broke down for 45 minutes.”;

His new album, Who Believes In Angels?, with Brandi Carlile isn’t all doom and gloom though.

Elton, who will be on TV in a concert special with Brandi on ITV on April 19, added: “She inspired me to go ahead with this record and I think this is the best record I’ve made in 40 years.”;

In Decemberhe said he was unable to watch his new musical version of The Devil Wears Prada.

He added: “I haven’t been able to come to many of the previews because, as you know, I have lost my eyesight.
