New Elton John documentary coming to Disney+: All the details
The documentary will feature unseen concert footage of the singer.
A new documentary on Elton John is heading to Disney+.
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road: The Final Elton John Performances and The Years That Made His Legend" features unseen concert footage from the past 50 years, modern-day footage of John and his family, and a look at his hand-written journals.
The documentary will have a limited theatrical run and will also screen at festivals ahead of its arrival on Disney+.
Capturing John's last months on the road for his farewell tour, with performance clips from Madison Square Garden, London and more, the film will culminate with the star's final North American show at Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium this November.
It will also feature a special look at the first five years of John's career, during which he scored seven No. 1 albums and became a global superstar.
John's husband and manager, David Furnish, is a producer on the project.
The documentary is directed by R.J. Cutler, who also directed "Billie Eilish: The World's A Little Blurry," "BELUSHI," "The War Room," "The September Issue," "A Perfect Candidate" and "The World According to Dick Cheney."
“Elton and I could not think of a better collaborator than R.J. Cutler for a film that represents more than just Elton’s career — it’s his life," Furnish said in a statement. "From the Troubadour to Dodger Stadium, we knew that R.J. would help guide Elton’s story and its many layers in a way that feels authentic and evocative."
John has been part of the Disney family since 1994, when his music for "The Lion King" became a massive hit.
Disney is the parent company of ABC News.
