News Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 During a 2017 interview on Beats 1, Elton John made it known that he hoped to one day collaborate with Khalid. “New artist wise, Khalid,” Sir Elton gushed to Zane Lowe, “I love Khalid.” It appears the Rocket Man’s dreams have come true: Today, he’s shared a cover of “Young Dumb & Broke” featuring additional vocals from Khalid himself. The new rendition was recorded at the Colosseum at Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace as part of John’s Spotify Singles session. In typical Elton John fashion, it’s got color, flare, and prominent piano arrangements.
