Elton John Performs Two TV Debuts Alongside Brandi Carlile

Elton John Performs Two TV Debuts Alongside Brandi Carlile

Just because Elton said he wasn’t going to tour again doesn’t mean he was going to quit making new music and appearing on TV shows, specials, and award ceremonies.

Saturday night (4/5) the Rocket Man performed two new songs alongside Brandi Carlile from their new collaborative LP, Who Believes in Angels, which dropped that Friday.

The pair, with an all star band performed the title track and the rollicking “Little Richard’s Bible” to the small studio audience at Rockefeller Center.

It wasn’t a live debut for either song as the pair had performed three tunes off the new album last month at the London Palladium for the TV special “An Evening with Elton John and Brandi Carlile” that aired Sunday on CBS.
