NEW YORK — Capturing Sir Elton John ’s 50-year career is a herculean task. Good thing his husband, David Furnish, and filmmaker R.J. Cutler were up for the challenge.
Success and satisfaction are not one in the same, a fact that’s quickly established in the film. John had fame but hungered for connection. Having a family changed him. “The title ‘Never Too Late’ sums it up for everybody, not just me. You can change things. It’s never too late to change anything. Thank God I did. Because when I got sober, my whole life completely changed.” “It’s been glorious compared to what it was for about 10 years, 15 years,” he says of his past struggles with drug and alcohol addiction. “You know, I was still playing and touring while I was doing drugs. I never stopped. Because music kept me alive. Music kept me alive.
“Never Too Late” is also the title of an uplifting theme song written by Brandi Carlile, Andrew Watt, John and his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin, currently shortlisted for the 2025 Oscars. Carlile was the catalyst; she paid John and Furnish a visit to their home in France, saw a rough cut of the documentary and felt moved to write a song.
