Sir Elton John reveals how he calmed ‘overwhelmed’ Chappell Roan

Sir Elton John just revealed that he helped Chappell Roan adjust to her life with fame.

In his conversation to The Ankler, he revealed that when he found out the Good Luck, Babe hitmaker was “overwhelmed with her sudden success” he FaceTimed the 26-year-old.

“Sometimes, you know, they get a little overwhelmed. Chappell was a little overwhelmed with her sudden success — although she’d been writing for a long time, it really kind of ballooned very quickly,” he explained.

The Rocket Man hitmaker continued, “I just try and calm her down and say, ‘Listen, it’s fine. It’s fine. Do what you want. Don’t listen to anybody. Walk at your own speed. Do not listen to the record company saying, “We want another album, we want another album.” ‘Do it when you’re ready to do it.’”

“I’ve got that experience. I’ve been through everything in my life as far as knowing what to do in music, seeing people come, seeing people go. Sometimes they disappear much too quickly,” the iconic 77-year-old artist detailed.

Chappell Roan is not the first one to receive help from Sir Elton John, with other artists like Eminem, Robbie Williams and Britney Spears, all benefiting from his years of experience and the bond of friendship they had with each other.

“I’m kind of a survivor; one of the people still around at 77. I’m probably as popular as I was when I was younger, and that’s been a miracle. But it’s nice to be able to pass that stuff on and see the results in people,” he further mentioned.
