Sir Elton John confirms new album release

Sir Elton John has revealed plans to release a new album.

The veteran singer and pianist will unleash the record 'The Diving Board' in September.

It will mark the follow-up to his last solo record 'The Captain & The Kid', which was released in 2006.

In a video to promote his new album announcement, John said that he has been looking in the past for inspiration. He said:

"I feel like I'm starting again making records. What kind of music do I really want to make? I have to go back to go forward again."

'The Diving Board' meanwhile has been produced by T Bone Burnett, who worked on John's 2010 collaborative album with Leon Russell.

Elton John meanwhile is one of the headliners at this year's Bestival festival in September.
