Watch Taron Egerton channel his inner Elton John

We’re getting closer to the scheduled release of Rocketman, the Elton John biopic starring Taron Egerton as Sir Reginald Dwight himself, and we now have a great look/listen to how this movie is going to sound!

Unlike Bohemian Rhapsody, which used mostly Freddie Mercury vocals when creating its incredible music scenes, Rocketman is going a different route. Egerton himself will provide all the Elton vocals for the film, giving the first trailers a slightly different sound than most Elton fans anticipated. It’s a gutsy move by the filmmakers (and a brave one for Egerton) but now we can judge for ourselves with the release of the film’s version of “Rocket Man”.
