Elton John’s Apple Music show to feature King Charles in November 14 special
Apple Music and Buckingham Palace today announced that King Charles will join the next episode of Sir Elton John’s Rocket Hour to discuss the 50th anniversary of his charity and the role music has played in its work over the years. Here are the details.
Since July 2015, Elton John has hosted a radio show on Apple Music called Rocket Hour. With more than 470 episodes aired, the show features a mix of new music, classic hits, and interviews with artists.
Throughout the years, John has welcomed guests such as Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish, Noel Gallagher, and Chappell Roan, as well as special episodes celebrating the show’s 300th episode and 10th anniversary.
This Saturday, November 14, Rocket Hour is gearing up for a particularly special episode featuring King Charles, marking the 50th anniversary of The King’s Trust, a charity he founded in 1976, and King Charles’s own 78th birthday.
Reuters notes that the episode was the first to be recorded at Apple Music’s new radio studios in London, and that “the pair recall benefit concerts stretching from Wembley Arena’s rock galas in the 1980s to shows in Hyde Park and at the Royal Albert Hall.”
The interview will premiere on Apple Music 1 this Saturday, November 14, at 9 a.m. GMT (4 a.m. ET / 1 a.m. PT), with additional broadcasts throughout the weekend on Apple Music 1 and Apple Music Hits. The episode will also be available on demand afterward.
Apple Music requires an active subscription. You can sign up for $11.99 per month, with 1 month free, or as part of the Apple One bundle.
