Elton John is to make a new album, and this time he wants to go hip-hop, and work with the kings of rap, Dr Dre, Timbaland and Pharrell Williams. Even Elton’s manager, Jimmy Iovine wants him to do it.

Elton told Star Pulse, “I’ve got plans to do another album which will be completely different. I wanna do a hip hop album with some people. It was a suggestion. It was Jimmy Iovine, who runs my record company; he said, ‘Listen, I want to put you in with Dr. Dre and with Eminem, and with Pharrell (Williams) and with Timbaland and all the best people, and I just think it’s a great idea.”
