As previously announced, a longtime member of the Elton John Band will be releasing his album next month.
Â
Davey Johnstone‘s Deeper Than My Roots features musical contributions from four of the musician’s sons and artwork by his daughter, Juliet. Fifteen-year-old Elliot, Johnstone’s youngest child, sings lead of most of the tracks.Â
Â
Davey doesn’t envision much in the way of touring on his own to support Deeper Than My Roots, according to ultimateclassicrock.com/davey-johnstone-deeper-than-my-roots/. However, he does not rule out ”some specific other types of shows around the songs and around the Davey Johnstone Band, as it were.” The lineup will involve his children, he says.
Â
As for touring with Elton, he’s sure the ”farewell” part of the tour remains the singer’s intention.Â
Â
”We’re too bloody old!” he laughs. Johnstone adds, though: ”I never say never with him. All I know is this is a farewell to touring. Who knows who might happen after that.”
Â
He suggests that Elton ”might do something else, revue wise, maybe a one-man show somewhere. I have no idea, but anything’s possible.”
