By the by, both of these covers, can be found on Rocketman: Music from the Motion Picture ( Interscope Records, 2019). Next up is the segment featuring that film’s cover of “Rocket Man” (also sung by Egerton).

The program began with the sparse and atmospheric cover of “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” from the Elton John biopic, Rocketman ( Paramount Pictures, 2019), as sung by Taron Egerton and Jamie Bell (in their roles as John and Bernie Taupin, respectively). In fact, two were covers and one was a remixed cover with entire verses of new lyrics.

*īut what nobody seems to have mentioned in the numerous (and much-deserved) articles about Chen’s gobsmackingly brilliant performance, is that while these are irrefutably Elton John songs, the versions used in Chen’s free skate program were not sung by Elton John. Getting back to this week, though, much has been made of Chen’s musical selection for the free skate, a mix of three classic Elton John hits (“Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” “Rocket Man,” and “Bennie and the Jets”), with no less than Sir Elton John, himself, praising Chen on the Instagrams. Small wonder then, that in addition to his shiny gold medal, he now holds five of the top six total program scores of all time (including the world record), as well as the top four free skate scores of all time. They were the perfect pairing of technique and artistry, and-when paired with his backstory and journey to Beijing-nothing short of triumphant. That Nathan Chen’s recent Olympic Gold Medal-winning performances were sublime is unassailable.
