“Whether he’ll release it or not, I don’t know," said Elton.
He also revealed that he is fascinated by The Weeknd's writing process.
"It was fascinating to see the way he works. I write songs from start to finish, I’m old-fashioned; these people take bits of melodies and make a collage. Songwriting doesn’t have to be the same old form of songwriting,” he said.
