Elton John singer Bernie Taupin to be honored at Hollywood Music in Media Awards
A1 Digital India News: Almost a year ago, Elton John frontman Bernie Taupin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And in November he'll receive another prestigious award. At the 15th Annual Hollywood Music in Media Awards on November 20, Bernie will be honored with the Outstanding Career Achievement Award.
The award honors composers and songwriters for their contributions to film, TV, video games, and other fields. In fact, Elton's song written by Bernie has been featured in several movies over the years. For example, Elton and Bernie also won an Oscar and a Golden Globe for Best Original Song for writing "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again" for Elton's biopic Rocketman. Even without Elton, Bernie won a Golden Globe for writing a song for the film Brokeback Mountain.
Bernie and Elton recently wrote a new song for Elton's upcoming Disney+ documentary, Elton John Never Too Late. The song, also titled "Never Too Late," was written by Elton's close friends Brandi Carlile and Andrew Watt, who produced several of Elton's The Lockdown Sessions albums. The song is sung by Elton and Brandi.
Elton announced last year that he and Bernie had completed a full-length album. In May, Bernie said it was coming "soon," but there were no details yet. A documentary featuring Bernie is also being produced. Previous HMMA Career Outstanding Achievement Award winners include Kenny Loggins, Diane Warren, and Earth Wind & Fire.
