One of the benefits of doing a biopic for a musician that is still alive is that, when it comes time to record the soundtrack, you know you can probably cajole that artist into a sweet guest spot. That’s exactly what happened with the forthcoming soundtrack to Elton John biopic Rocketman, which, as reported by Billboard, will feature a duet version of a new song, “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” performed by John and the film’s star Taron Egerton. The track was written by John and his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin (played by Jamie Bell in the film).
