Asked about the status of the album, the pop star said he did not know and “it’s been a while since I’ve done anything” and he is “kind of stuck at the moment”.
Sir Elton said he was having treatment, and “there’s hope and encouragement that it will be OK”.
“At the moment, that’s really what we’re concentrating on,” he continued.
In November 2023, Sir Elton told the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame ceremony he had “just finished” a new album with lyricist Bernie Taupin.
“It’s absolutely wonderful and it’s full of youth and full of vitality,” he said at the time.
Sir Elton’s last studio album of new material was released in 2016.
However, his Good Morning America interview suggests the next album is still some way off being completed.
