Bernie Taupin is thankful he never became famous for being the musical partner of Sir Elton John, because he can’t handle the celebrity world. Bernie worked with Elton John for 40 years, helping to make the musician a superstar, but he insists he isn’t jealous of the attention Sir Elton enjoys. Bernie Taupin said: “People don’t recognise me now.
In the old days, I’d go out front at Elton’s show, my face was on the album covers, I’d get stopped on the street. I couldn’t live that way”. Bernie Taupin has revealed he writes hidden messages into the songs he creates for Elton John. Bernie said: “I’ve always tried to be aware of his feelings or his social or political bent, but sometimes I can be cryptic, so I’ve slid things in there that I know he won’t realise until later on. I’ve been standing on the side of the stage ten years after I’ve written a certain lyrics and he’s come off stage and said “I’ve just realised what you said in that song”.

About the new album Sir Elton said: “The album is a celebration of our lives and our lifetimes, of our music and of the music we love. The Captain And The Kid” continues our story. You can’t look back, we’re looking ahead. I find the whole album to be so touching and beautiful for me because I’ve lived it. I lived it with Bernie and we’ve come through it. We’ve gone over the bridge and here we are at the other side”.

Elton John has confessed he is a technophobe and doesn’t even own a computer or mobile phone. He is happy to shun modern technology and lets David act as his secretary. Elton John said: “I don’t have a computer, don’t have a mobile phone, don’t have an iPod. I order new things all the time and I write them down in my book. David has a phone, so people can always get hold of me”.
A personal message for the attention of Sir Elton John: I’m secretary, I’m looking for a job. I also look for a job as a lyricist, (you made me want to write), and I would like someone to sing my texts. I would prefer to work as a lyricist. I’m writing in French and in English.
If one day, David hasn’t got the time anymore to be your personal assistant, I apply for the job. I love the computer and I own 2 mobiles. One bought in London, the other one bought in Nice. (I live in Nice). I would be delighted to be your personal assistant! I have decided to put my texts on-line on my blog
