hold me closer

just a sideblog to post rocketman // elton john content so i'm not spamming my queen/main blog. you can call me megan; my favourite hobby is crying over british gay pianists from the 1970s.

Bernie sees that Elton is captivated by Reid and that he looks different. Elton smiles at him.

There are moments in a rockstar’s life that define who he is, and how people perceive him as he ascends into the heavens.You lit the blue touch paper. Now we can all see you shooting light and colour and magic into the night sky. Where there was darkness, there is now you. Elton John. You can do anything you want. You can be anyone you want. And it’s gonna be a wild ride.

“Taron and I were keen on portraying the relationship as it was. We meet and fall properly in love, and that’s the root of it. They were together for five years before Reid started managing him, so we see them fall in love and then the darker elements that begin to creep in. John becomes more and more successful and more outlandish, more absurd. And Reid becomes more manipulative and opportunistic as a result.” - Richard Madden

          2: Favorite quote? This is so hard!!! Potentially ‘For my next trick I’m going to fucking kill myself.’ but if lyrics count??? ‘The change is gonna do me good’ because there’s a lot of changes happening in my life at the moment and I connect to it. Honky cat is life. Anyways this is hard next question

          4: Which performance made you the happiest? Honky Cat!! But then also Crocodile Rock because I love Taron’s rendition of it.
