The Rocket Man singer appeared on The Graham Norton Show on Friday night.
Sir Elton John opened up during his appearance on The Graham Norton Show over the weekend, saying that he "lost it" and needed comforting for 45 minutes when a new song made him confront his own mortality.
He continued: "And then I get to the chorus, and I find that it's about my death, my demise. And as a 76-year-old man, which I was at that time, and having children and having a husband, mortality, and you think about, 'How long have I got? How long? I hope I've got, much longer than maybe I've got.'.
"And I put a brass band at the end of it, because I've always loved brass bands, colliery bands, because they their music is rather sad - the sound of it. I always loved the Cup Final when they played 'Abide With Me' and I alwasy used to cry no matter how old I was, because it was so beautiful." "It was, it was a journey from unhappiness and fame to epiphany and happiness and family and children. It's that the arc of my life, which went down a bit, a lot"
