Elton John is working with the FOX show The Masked Singer on an episode dedicated to his music.
The 10th season premieres on September 10th with a new lineup of costumes, including “Donut,” “Anteater,” “Hawk” and “S’More.” One episode will have the contestants singing Elton songs that he chooses.
In other Elton news, he has expressed his disappointment at the BBC making cuts to its new music show, BBC Introducing, calling it “a worrying step” that shows a “neglect of musicians.”
He posted a note on Instagram saying, “BBC Introducing’s network and support of new music has been one of the best ways for emerging artists to get airplay and find listeners from local to national radio.
“After reading recent reports of cuts to certain services, I look forward to seeing the BBC make good on their promise to continue to support up-and-coming acts and not compromise the essence of BBC Introducing.
“To stop investing in the future of the UK’s influential music industry whilst cuts are being made to the creative sector across the board would be a worrying step and neglect of musicians who bring culture and capital to the UK at home and abroad.”
