Musical heavyweights like Pink, Ed Sheeran<\/a> and Lady Gaga are uniting to celebrate the timeless songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin for upcoming tribute album Revamp<\/em> and Restoration<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two-disc LP, set for release April 6, will feature appearances from artists that run the gamut of genres – including Coldplay, Miley Cyus, The Killers<\/a>, Mary J. Blige, Dolly Parton, and Mumford and Sons. Both John and his longtime songwriting partner were heavily involved in the creative process and selection of artists in the album – making choices that reflect of each of their own musical preferences.<\/p>\n

“Restoration<\/em> was Bernie’s project, and he\u2019s a huge country fan,\u201d John said in a statement. \u201cOn Revamp<\/em>, I wrote out a wish list of people that I would love and asked them, and to my surprise, most of them said yes, and we have quite an astonishing eclectic crew.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eclectic crew, indeed. Revamp<\/em>\u00a0is set to feature the likes of Alessia Cara, Lady Gaga, Florence + The Machine, Sam Smith<\/a>, Queens of the Stone Age and Ed Sheeran among others.\u00a0<\/em>It will include\u00a0reworkings of 13 classic John hits like “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road,” “Your Song,” “Tiny Dancer” and “Candle in the Wind.” Restoration\u00a0<\/em>stays primarily in the country genre, recruiting artists such as Little Big Town, Maren Morris<\/a>, Chris Stapleton<\/a> and Miranda Lambert<\/a> to lend their voices. Country legends Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson also appear, as does Vince Gill, who takes on “Sacrifice” with current Eagles tour mate<\/a> Don Henley.<\/p>\n

This is not the first time a wide array of artists have gathered to honor John. He was the subject of a special Grammy salute concert<\/a> in January, which featured performances from many of the same artists taking part in the tribute album, including Morris, Smith, Cyrus, and Little Big Town.<\/p>\n

The project’s announcement fittingly comes at the sunset of John’s fifty-year career. In recent months he confirmed the end<\/a> of his long-running Las Vegas residency show “Million Dollar Piano,” and shocked the music world by announcing a three-year, 300-date farewell tour<\/a> to mark the end of his performing days.<\/p>\n
