And Elton’s lush, downbeat, thoughtful live-in-studio take on the song really is lovely.

It’s yet another case of Elton John proving himself fully capable of finding things to love within the circa-now pop-music environment. And now Elton John has offered his own version of the song.Įlton just shared his Spotify Single, which features live-in-studio versions of his own classic “Bennie & The Jets” and of Khalid’s song. Thats not exactly news, but its also worth mentioning. It topped out at #18, but it made a name for the young man. Khalid - Young, Dumb & Broke Im so caught up in this Young, Dumb and Broke is such a great song. The 2017 single “ Young Dumb & Broke” was probably the big breakout song for Khalid, the young (but not dumb or broke) Texan pop-R&B singer. And yet Elton John has just shared a recording of himself singing about being young, dumb, and broke, and he sounds like he means it.


And a few years ago, CNN estimated Elton John’s net worth at $450 million. He has thrived for more than 50 years within the perpetual cannibalistic churn of the music business.
