Engelbert – the UK’s entry for Eurovision earlier this year, although the track flopped – said: “This album is a true labour of love. We have a few more recordings to go, but what a cast.
“I’m keeping most of it under my hat but was so excited about working with Elton, who I have admired ever since first hearing him, I just couldn’t keep it to myself.
“I’m honoured he has contributed to this album.
Sir Elton said his new recording pal was “one of the sweetest and nicest people I have ever worked with”.
He went on: “We had a great time singing together. He is 76 years old and still sounding as good as ever.”

“I suppose it's entertainment news, just as stories about Leicester City are sports news.
It's maybe worth appreciating that the Leicester Mercury isn't produced solely for your benefit.”
