Elton John - The Captain and the Kid
Elton is also relishing the return to good footballing health of his beloved Watford FC, the local club of his youth at which he fulfilled a boyhood dream by becoming chairman in 1976. It was his financial support of countless millions of pounds that set the club on the glory road soon afterwards. They rose from the bottom division of English football to the top, and he proudly and emotionally watched their 1984 FA Cup Final appearance against Everton at one of his own glory venues, Wembley Stadium. As honorary life president, he maintains close connections with the club and its prosperous young manager Adrian Boothroyd, and monitors their progress wherever he is in the world. Watford were promoted to the Premiership this year.
But for all of these commitments, he would never disrespect his day job of close to 40 years. Elton John has just completed his 44th album, due to be released on 18 September 2006 and it's characteristically ambitious. 'The Captain and the Kid' is Elton and Bernie's all-new, autobiographical update of the classic 1975 album that documented their experiences to that point, 'Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy'.

It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
