Elton John - Rare interview 1990

This is possibly the last televised interview with Elton before he entered rehab on July 29 1990.
This interview with Paul Gambaccini was filmed in the last week of May the same year.
Enjoy!
Special thanks to Mr. M.

Thanks, O.N. Compare this interview to those he did after rehab. The before and after is incredible. His eyes look terrible in this one. I'm glad he got help and am thankful he's still around.

It’s such a night/day comparison isn’t it! He looks very sad and just going through the motions.

[@Tom-bl9kw]

@@EltonStuff Definitely.

By the way he’s talking he seems to want to change his life, he just didn’t know how.

[@EltonStuff]

[@claresherman2278]

Two months later, I believe.

You’re very welcome ☺️

Gems? Oh, gems! I misread « germs ». 😄

[@TELEVISIONARCHIVES]

Thank God he got help for his addictions. I love Elton John and I knew something was wrong with him.

[@BlackstoneComedyArchive]

This is literally right before he went into rehab. He looks bloated, his skin is almost gray. When he came out of rehab he looked like a completely different person. Elton has said whenever he needs a reminder of how miserable he was as an addict he looks at interviews from this period.
