Watch Taron Egerton perform Elton John classic Rocketman in new ...
Actor’s version of Elton John’s 1972 single will feature on the Rocketman soundtrack - out later this month
www.loudersound.comShort answer: Yes. Taron Egerton sang the Elton John songs himself for Rocketman, including the lead role performances on the soundtrack.[2][4]
Details
- Do you want a quick summary of how his singing was recorded and what Elton John said about his performance? I can pull the key points from interviews and behind-the-scenes materials.[4][2]
- If you’re curious about which tracks feature his voice (e.g., core Rocketman songs vs. duets or ensemble pieces), I can outline that as well with citations.[8][4]
Notes
- Multiple outlets confirm that Egerton did his own singing in Rocketman, with Elton John expressing strong approval of his vocal performance. This contrasts with some biopics where the actor lip-syncs to a separate singer.[2][4]
- For completeness, Rocketman’s soundtrack includes a mix of Egerton-recorded tracks and collaborative performances, including the duet with Elton John on “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” that accompanied the film’s release.[1][5]
