Elton is a huge fan, and he collaborated with you on Ta-Dah. How does that work?
Jake calls him the weird, fun uncle. I think of him as sort of a godfather in a way. He's someone who's so a part of everyone's consciousness. Whether you're a fan of his music or not, you know all the words to at least one of his songs.

The first time we met him he had his dog with him. We were opening up a show for him in England. And we were talking all about his dog and how his dog knows the last song in his set and will come and wait by the stage for him. It's those glimpses into somebody's real, regular every day life that makes you realize their humanity.
