Taron Egerton as Elton John? I’ll tell you what, if we were not able to watch a young Elton in the flesh — and sadly we weren’t — then we don’t think there is anyone better they could have chosen to play the role of Sir Elton in the upcoming musical-fantasy biopic, Rocketman.

Touted as “the uncensored human story of Sir Elton John’s breakthrough years”, we find ourselves waiting with baited breath to see the story realised on the big screen. Another legendary piece of cinema like Bohemian Rhapsody, please and thank you!

Rocketman, staring Taron Egerton, Jamie Bell, Richard Madden and Bryce Dallas Howard, arrives in UK cinemas on May 22nd.
