Elton John was 'catalyst' for John Lennon and Yoko Ono reunion
Elton John and John Lennon shared a whirlwind friendship that included helping the former Beatle and his partner, Yoko Ono, reconcile.
In his new documentary, "Elton John: Never Too Late," available now on Disney+, John states he was the "catalyst" for Lennon and Ono’s reconciliation in the mid-1970s.
The musicians first met on the set of a commercial shoot through a mutual friend, Tony King, in 1973.
"I was obviously very intimidated and very excited," the "Tiny Dancer" singer-songwriter said, adding, "It was like I’d met someone I’d known my whole life."
They began spending time together, with John recalling, "We just hung out and had a great time. We just laughed and laughed and laughed. We did a lot of drugs."
"This man was in The Beatles, and he still wanted to make music, he still wanted to be politically involved, he still has a purpose in his life, and I love people like that. I love people who think about tomorrow rather than yesterday," he explained.
In an old interview clip shown during the documentary, Lennon said, "Elton and I are very close."
